The only people supporting nuclear are also on the left.

Nuclear's demise has nothing to do with the liberals blocking it (if they were so powerful their efforts against coal and fracking and oil pipelines may have been marginally effective) but rather the terrible economics of it vs solar/wind as well as natural gas.

There's some on the right supporting it as well. Not everyone right-of-center is beholden to the coal/oil/gas lobbies.

Solar and wind beat out nuclear for generation without regard to intermittent production. If you counting the cost of actually replacing fossil fuels, that has to take into storage and retrieval costs which drastically increase cost well beyond nuclear. Well, to be more pedantic nobody really knows the cost because the technology to store energy effectively and at the required scale in a manner that is not geographically dependent does not yet exist.
