The price is what kills it.

It's the regulations that kill it (which drives the cost and timelines so high/long).

And it's the NIMBYs that kill it.

The last US nuclear renaissance wasn't killed by NIMBYs. The plants had plenty of local support. It didn't help.

Have you specific examples? The biggest failures associated with the last nuclear “Renaissance” were project/budget failures - e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nukegate_scandal - same in Europe where the “new generation” ERP has been a budgetary and timeline disaster.
