  1. renewable energy is still cheaper
  2. nuclear also comes with other risks, such as geopolitical dependency for many countries, and the exploitation of resources in other countries (consider the recent France - Niger conflict as an example)
  3. the reason why so many regulations for nuclear are in place is because they make sense. they're not going to disappear anytime soon, so your argument is irrelevant

Nuclear fusion has made great strides. There currently an experimental Tokamak in China that set a new record for sustained fusion in 2023, then earlier this year broke that record again.

Still far away from commercial viability though, nothing we can count on right now.
