And also really depends on the needs of the community. Solar, especially, can be deployed cheaply and relatively quickly, and may meet the needs of the community while phasing out oil and gas. Nuclear power plants are very expensive to build and take a really long time, but provide a large amount of power. A local community may not need a nuclear power plant.

Nuclear power plants are also expensive to maintain and tend to attract questionable investors.

"tend to attract questionable investors" what does this even mean, every industry attracts questionable investors and there's basically zero nuclear in the US to even gauge that from.
