Do it.
I mean, that's what Ford did. They had the tech to generate power for the factory, so were the city's electric company.
Yeah, do it. Quit being a consumer of mixed source power, start being a producer of steady, good energy.
(Dirty enough that calling it clean green energy gets pushback, but far better than non-green normal sources like coal or natural gas.)
Nuclear power is complicated because it still involves mining. Which will inevitably damage the environment even if all the mining equipment are electric vehicles run on solar power.
So does literally every energy source. Solar panels and wind turbines don't grow on trees.
