also the potential to put them in ships, among other things. Imagine cargo/container ships that are greener

oh please. There's plenty of fuel for nuclear reactors. And you don't just have to use Uranium 235. Alternatives such as old fuel. Thorium. And so on.
There is no threat to the environment with modern reactors, especially gen IV with innovations such as pebble beds and more importantly passively safe reactors that don't even need a source of water. Not to mention the LFTR everyone jerks off.
nuclear is the only clean energy that can provide the energy foundation to a technological future with electric cars and industrial processes, especially in european countries that are far more dense population wise.
and of course they could open another fart gas or coal plant. But the obvious idea here is energy diversity. Maybe even developing a knowledge base of working with nuclear energy

it's crazy that stuff still get used, when there's types of poison that are harmless to basically everything but the mice that eat it
