Nuclear is dead because it's not economical.

Even the SMR developers keep raising the expected price and the delivery date keeps slipping.

Last price update was something like $80 whereas solar/wind is around $30 and still dropping.

If the question was "how can I get really expensive electricity in 14 years", then yes nuclear is the answer. 14 years is the Vogtle 3 & 4 reactors in Georgia, approved in 2009, supposed to be operational this year.
