    The biggest problem I see about nuclear apart from it being extremely slow to build even if permitting is not holding things up is that it’s just relying on another non-renewable resource.

      All resources are non renewable on a long enough time scale, but nuclear would be enough for hundreds of years with no active carbon emissions. It’s not perfect but it’s a very important part of having a balanced energy supply.
