Whats the lifetime of a nuclear plant in the first place, is it above proven current reserves?
Maybe by the time we run out then something else will be the hot new thing. As far as why countries dont produce solar its because of environmental regulations making it too costly, which is why the large majority of required material is refined in China, so runs into the same problem as nuclear.

Total cost of power its very expensive. When you see how cheap solar is that’s just the panels, you then have to deal with the intermittency, and the backup power generation for the periods where performance is degraded.
