You are getting the issue now. Energy reliance on political enemies is a big problem. I'd also be happy the day the Saudis are gone.
So yeah solar panels imports are also a big issue, I'm worried that China will close off the exports at some point.
As for nuclear, it's not as big of an issue as you think, most of the value is in the plant, there's lots of countries exporting the raw material which are not much related and storage is pretty easy. (Conditions may apply of course, some nuclear grids are much more dependent than others but it's possible to be relatively independent with it)
Fossil fuels are a diplomatic, environmental and economic issue, even if you don't care about the environment, three's lots of other downsides.
