There are benefits to the distributed generation afforded by solar. The variables are shifting due to the emergence of much less expensive battery storage. That isn’t to say don’t do nuclear, just that multiple paths should be taken.

LEDs were very expensive and unviable until they weren’t, due to subsidization that facilitated R&D. To support electrification of transportation, we need distributed generation, not least due to problems with grid integrity.
