Except that if you calculate the complete cost including building the plants it’s stupendously expensive compared to renewables even including energy storage.
I do like nuclear, but of course the costs matter regardless of profit seeking. If you have two options that are same benefit but one costs more, to go with that one is just wasteful.
Why is that irrelevant?
These plants don’t run forever and are very expensive. You wouldn’t buy a car either that costs 15 million Euro, but in return just uses 1liter of diesel per 100km.
That is factually incorrect. The oldest reactors still in service are around 60years old and have to be maintained and repaired at high costs as safety relevant parts are heavily deteriorated.
With rising safety measures new plants get more expensive from year to year all the while renewables get cheaper and cheaper in production.

Nuclear costs double per kilowatt than solar tho??
And Nuclear Plants are always built by for profit companies?

I can. But I’m not gonna. I’m lazy.
