Well you can look at the money but environmentally it's a disaster. Closing nuclear power plant was a mistake, reopening coal power plant is another. But I guess what's important is the economy...

If you look at the real data, you see that the loss of nuclear has nicely been covered by wind and solar: https://energy-charts.info/charts/energy/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE...

If you close a nuclear plant while a non-zero number of fossil fuel plants are still online, you don't care about emissions as much as you claim, regardless of what you replace them with.
