what makes nuclear energy a bad option?
A single new reactor takes decades to build and costs billions. Investing in solar, wind, the grid and storage instead will generate more energy, faster, and for less.
It's not "instead of".
You're supposed to run nuclear along side renewables. Opposed to running fossile fuels alongside renewables. Either way, something has be running besides renewables.
No 100% renewables is viable. You don't need anything running beside it.
