Why Nuclear

I' puzzled why anyone is still considering nuclear power.  Wind and solar plus battery storage has so far outpaced nuclear in cost effectiveness and is only going to get better and better as the years go by.  Add to this, the C19 crisis showing us, if we didn't realize already, that things can come along to trash our society which we are not expecting, leaving nuclear power stations and spend fuel repositories all over the place that we will not be able to afford to keep safe.  A pandemic is only one of the causes that could wreck our society.  How many empires of the past still exist.  None.  With nuclear we are setting up a really nasty situation for future generations.
