But still worse than renewables.

Far more expensive, it's centralized and therefore a war target (good luck trying to destroy 100 million solar installations on 100 million different houses instead) and the source of fuel rods for Europe is currently a sanctioned country that is running amok in Ukraine.

It's useful to establish a base of energy when Renewables don't produce enough and there are no other decentralized options, but otherwise, it should not be considered IMO.
