That is the point. 30 years ago going nuclear was extremely viable. Now it is a distraction.

Nuclear takes 10 years to build. Renewables are extremely cheap and work directly.

By pretending to advocate for nuclear energy the fossil fuel industry can keep selling their trash for another 10 years. When the plants are almost done they will start fearmongering against nuclear to cancel the plants.
