Nuclear energy can produce much more power than any coal plant with being more eco-friendly and not as costly

You're cherry-picking. Yes, nuclear plants produce massive output, but here's where you're getting played: they take 10-15 years and billions to build, while renewables go live in months for a fraction of the cost. Your "not costly" claim ignores waste storage—we still don't know how to safely dispose of it for 10,000 years. Meanwhile, solar and wind prices have dropped 90% in a decade. Coal's dying not because nuclear's replacing it, but because renewables are cheaper *and* faster to deploy. Nuclear's a legacy technology pretending to be the future while actually holding us back from solutions that work today.
