Off-grid decentralized power is a very strong sales pitch to sell solar technology to freedom loving Americans. For big government loving centralized power communists, that's a strong sales pitch to favor nuclear power. They can't control people they don't like if they can't cancel their economic existence at the push of a button. Nuclear power also has the feature of being prohibitively expensive, requiring taxpayers to take on debt up to their eyeballs and wait 25 years for the union construction to finish. It's hard for communists to envy their neighbors after spending their wealth for them, burying them in debt, and damaging their land value by building perpetual nuclear waste storage sites on Republican voter land, guarded by low-IQ imported Islamic fanatics. The communists will certainly mandate DEI hires, that can't even spell Chernobyl, to operate the reactor cores.
Nuclear = another excuse for the Dims to change their minds on our energy sources cuz nuclear is dangerous doncha know.
