The problem with renewables is one of space and materials rather than energy production. Nuclear is drastically smaller in terms of the land footprint.
Focusing on cost is misleading because the costs are because we haven’t invested in fission in many decades / regulations are fairly insane. For example, the cost argument would go the other way in the 90s when wind and solar were much more expensive. Also, solar provide energy when there’s typically peak demand so you can’t really load shift for DAC. Wind you might be able to do that.
