So much wrong with this.
Nuclear is clearly the most 'low-carbon' energy that exists, and every systematic analysis has shown it as such.
I'm not gone address your bad economics.
> peak uranium
Peak uranium is nonsense. Just like peak coal and peak oil. We have unlimited amount of nuclear materials, not even U-235 is close to any peak. We have unlimited U-238 and Thorium that we could use as well.

Nuclear is much less carbon intensive than fossil fuels but loses to wind and PV, no?
Edit: I misread the graph, the ranges basically overlap, wind might be slightly ahead, solar behind but probably too close to call based on the numbers in that report)

It depends a bit, practically speaking carbon is irrelevant for all three.

Both of your points are factually wrong.
