The best argument for conventional nuclear back in the day was that it was a stopgap to reduce fossil fuels while renewable technologies mature in the future.
I wonder how much that lowering of the cost of solar panels comes from increased exploitation of labor and nature (through harmful industrialized mining operations)
honestly I agree, back then with nuclear etc we could have done it already. Nowadays the situation is different:

Wind and solar are king imo.

Well,

You could do the same with biomass though, which can actually be a permanent technology because it in itself is both renewable and carbon neutral.

Geothermal is especially good for heat though. For energy yes I agree.
