Nuclear is fine and dandy but it used to be popular because the long term cost was lower. Despite long investments.
Nowadays you can get direct solar and wind benefits at the same price without having to wait literally 10 years.
This is why conservatives love nuclear projects, it gives the fossil fuel industry a way to keep profiting for 10 years. Then they will cancel the project and there will be nothing in return.
Except battery storage costs a fortune and isnt ideal for cold climate regions.
Plus the excessively long timespans & project costs of nuclear should wind up being curbed by things like small modular reactors and boilerplate pre certified designs.
And trying to make nuclear projects a conservative bait and switch is one hell of a reach.

You have not noticed the conservative agenda to push nuclear instead of renewables? Once again, it allows us to keep using oil for 10 more years.
Nuclear has been neglected for 50 years while renewables have advanced at lightning speed. There was a case for nuclear in the past. There no longer is. I believe it is even way more expensive to build nuclear these days.
Besides being cheaper, there is no more nuclear explosion risk, and can be deployed right now instead of in 10 years. Renewables are obviously the way to go. This was different in the past. It no longer is.
You need stable base load which solar and wind cannot provide.
Battery storage is a direct medium.
