It’s just whether we want to use it or not. After all, economic profit is gained from the sales of the more common energy source: Fossil fuel.
Unless you count nuclear as a renewable (as we probably should, we have enough to last thousands of years) nuclear is absolutely vital.
It actually would cost less to build.

It uses up less land and resources,

And is far more reliable.
Geothermal and hydro only work in certain places. Wind and solar are too unreliable to be baseloads.
Nuclear providing the baseload with renewables the peaking is the only really viable option.
Fact is: Nuclear is not reliable. Many people live in fear and protest against having to live near a nuclear power plant that could get into a devastating accident. And Nuclear isn’t renewable. It will last for a few thousand years, but I doubt it’ll be forever here for hundreds of thousands of years.
