Promoters of nuclear power have used historically an analogous narrative, of 'cheap energy', which has been unfulfilled, e.g. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

This helps neither people nor planet:
attacks on nuclear sites are realistic, the risks are enormous and decommissioning & disposal costs are exorbitant.
