Is their somewhere a (honest!) exploration/essay on why there are so few nuclear power plants being build? Like South Korea is building some, and China (but they invest way more in renewables). All other countries are either building 0, building less then retire, or on the process of building very little but taking ages.

If nuclear fission is "cheap, abundant and carbon-free", why has nobody put their money where their mouth is?

The UAE just brought some new nuclear online (with a lot of help from the South Koreans): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_the_United_Ar...
