note : I am not stating anywhere in my reply that I deem viable or useful to partake any nuclear energy options.  I do notice, since the nuclear topic has been raised, that there are different approaches, and different resources for such, used for various reasons ( often power/control related ? )

Personally, I see nuclear approaches as centralized approaches.
Oil, gas and coal also potentially leading to centralized approaches of control.

I prefer small scale and networked distributed approaches to energy production, preferably renewable energy ( or geothermal some claiming geothermal is not a renewable source ).

All that misses the point:  the 1st Law of Thermodynamics and the rate
of consumption implied by prior history.
