I mean im guessing its because it may not be as profitable, or atleast at first, boycotts or directly just capitalism fucking everything up? i legit always imagine aliens seeing us still use coal while having DISCOVERED IN 1932

higher ups 100% look past the fearmongering of chernobyl and other accidents, nuclear is the safest compared to the many accidents that occur in solar, wind etc (if you look past the accidents which just dont happen nowadays, also considering that china has literally made a reactor that is physically impossible to meltdown)
There has to be more to the story than that, as medical tools using radiation have had terrible accidents, but are still used a lot all over the world. And for example every day there are terrible accidents with motorcycles and in some countries that's basically the primary mode of transportation for most people.
The true story has to be a bit more complex and nuanced?
There's no alternative for medical instruments and riding a bike is a voluntary choice. Sitting in a radiation cloud because Chernobyl had a meltdown isn't one.
This is a video about Europe (mostly Germany and France), not the world as you asked, but I think it includes some answers to your question.
thanks, i mean i dont really think we should just have nuclear yk, but i wish it was the main power source, although the only issue i really have is that if i personally would love a more decentralized power grid, how could that ever be acomplished with nuclear energy? its not like we can just have mini reactors, right?
Propaganda in favour of the wildly profitable fossil fuel industry
This! Even the Simpsons is guilty of it.
