> options for firm low-carbon energy (geothermal)

Energy density is a thing. Nuclear beats all other sources of energy on that single metric.



Energy density does not provide any practical advantage for nuclear over other electrical generation technologies.

It's like pointing out that solar runs on photons, and therefore it's "fuel" has infinite energy density. It doesn't really impact its use by humans.
