Nuclear has its place in the world, and it's pretty much a given that in order to maintain high availability and energy stability we will not be able to rely solely on one single source. It can't be all renewables, but it can't be all nuclear, either. We are going to need a mix of both.
Nuclear can serve e.g. big time industrial, manufacturing, or other mission critical needs with large amounts of power that is reasonably clean and, importantly, very stable.
We just need to keep it from falling totally into the hands of morons who want to waste it all on "AI" datacenters, or whatever the fuck else.
It can and will be multiple renewable sources of generation and storage, with nuclear only having a limited role (especially if SMRs don't become a thing).
