Transitioning to nuclear power does not necessarily imply reliance on coal plants (see France) and its costs are competitive with renewables. https://www.eia.gov/international/analysis/country/FRA https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/electricity_generation.pdf https://www.iea.org/reports/projected-costs-of-generating-electricity-2020 https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/extractiveindustries/publication/managing-coal-mine-closure https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/economic-aspects/economics-of-nuclear-power https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02239-0
