  Nuclear power is much more expensive than renewable power. Also nuclear ist not that good to regulate to compensate for swings in renewable power. And if you downregulate the nuclear power it gets even more expensive. Building new nuclear plants takes ages so renewable can be much easier scaled up. Combined with batteries the unsteady renewable power will be a lesser problem.

  The outphasing of nuclear power was a bit early but in the Ende needed.

  Also france Bad massive problems with their nuclear power in the summer because of a lack of cooling water.
