Ya, the primary problem it’s had is that while profitable, it’s not nearly as profitable as solar and wind. That’s fine if your goal is a stable source of energy to form the bedrock of western society, but not so much if it’s just to make as much profit as possible as quickly as possible.

for sure, nuclear is too expensive and money is non-renewable
