IMHO I do not think nuclear will save us from climate change - it takes too long to get going to be effective - but this is going to really agitate some chud/nerd brains worms

It's down because of regulation and bunch of Boomers who are still anti-nuclear.
France went from almost all fossils to about 75% nuke from 1975 to 2000 to the point that they power a lot of Europe now when the wind stops blowing. The US similarly built almost all of its nuclear capacity in the span of 25 or so years.
Similar with Canada, who actually developed a very safe fission reactor (a part of the byproduct being an isotope used in cancer treatments). So of course we stopped expanding the program and starved it of resources.
When you build a lot at the same time it gets cheaper and safer too. More is known about their operation as well as more mass production of parts is possible.
