Just to point something out regarding nuclear. The announced cost overrun at Vogtle of 3 Billion USD, would pay for 7GwH of battery storage at tesla powerwall retail prices of 5500 USD per 14 KwH.

3 billion / 5500 = 545454 545454 * 14 KwH ~= 7.6 GwH.

try at google ((3 billion / 5500) * 14kwh) in Gwh

That is the current state of the Nuclear power construction world.

What sane investor is ever going to invest in power generation that is online 12 years after the decision to go?
