    Nuclear would okay of you could
    1. Build it cheaply, safely and on time and not pass costs onto the public purse i.e. make the utility company pay.
    2. Make it so it never needs refuelling
    3. Make it not need to be shutdown when the water that is needed to keep it cool is too hot because of outside temperatures.
    4. When its reached end of life, the ground is not contaminated.
    5. Make it cheap decommission and not pass costs onto the public purse i.e. make the utility company pay.
    6. Make the spent fuel inert when no longer needed.
    7. No subsidies in any form for new development as its now old tech and doesn't need it.
    oh yes, and make it so it if a catastrophe happens and it blows/leaks, there is zero pollution so people can just walk passed it when the problem is over.

    Then you might get some buy in new stations to be built

    "Maybe we could build more wind and solar power plants while we figure out how to make nuclear power be safe when disaster happens and when it needs decommissioning? Nuclear power is as much a "zero emissions" energy source as wind and solar but it does produce a lot of nasty waste during power creation. Nuclear power is already competitive in price due to subsidies but national energy policy puts it in an competitive situation with wind." - fixed that for you.

    Thomas Robert Malthus wrote about impacts of population in his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population. I think a lot of the questions raised by "scare stories" is that they don't know how future tech or knowledge will impact the "problem" and apply "now" to the future in the form of solutions

    "We've been waiting for 40 years for wind and solar to save us, how much longer can we wait?" 40 years? get real, you need to get rid of the fossil fuel/nuclear lobby and its buying of politicians then renewables can really get going.

    you'll be relying on those extra people to do things for you when you get old and more incompetent and pour you coffee in the restaurant. If the population dwindles there'll be more pensioners than workers. if people can produce kids and educate them into being responsible human beings who care for the planet then they can replace the selfish bastards who don't.

    you should then run the environmental damage an ICE does from prospecting for oil, digging it up, transporting it, refining it, transporting it again and then burning the end result in a side by side comparison with the environmental damage of an EV in its process.
