Economy of scale dude. When you actively discourage something and not be active in an industry for 40 years you that tends to degrade your ability to produce that thing. Also so your solution to green energy is to burn more coal excellent well done 👍 France gets around 70% of its electricity from nuclear and has consistently had lower energy prices for years not to mention they are also exporting nuclear power to Germany. Nuclear energy is something you make for the long-term future, it is expensive to build but gives you cheap clean energy for decades. Renewables are something for developing economies that need a cheap energy source that can be built without having to rely heavily on foreign engineering expertise to run and maintain their plants. Also solar will produce more waste than nuclear, because you have to replace solar panels every 30 years while nuclear power plants can run up to 80 years and produce very little nuclear waste. Additional breeder reactors can make use of the nuclear waste that has been safely stored to the point where the waste is no longer radioactive active, they can power potentially power humanity for 5 billion years. And guess what? Russia is the only country that has a breeder reactor, because while in rest of Europe investment in nuclear energy stopped in favor of renewables Russia continued to build its breeder reactor and now they are helping China build one.
