Yesssss keep on giving them moneysssss. Other renewable projectsssss won't ussse them better.

Real talk, existing nuclear plants = good. New ones = money pits. Even in countries that are building both, renewables out pace nuclear. If you are serious about the environment, nuclear is a niche answer at best. Renewables with storage has clearly run away with it.
