maybe nuclear energy isnt part of sociatal progress.
Don't see any reasons why it can't and plenty of reasons why it should.
Too expensive and thus a too heavy burden on society while much cheaper alternatives exist.
"expensive"
How? In what terms?
Because during my studies in conservation, the only barrier of "expensive" is monetary cost which is entirely societal systems of arbitrary monetary value which has nothing to do with the actual material or labor costs.
Is it actually a burden on society or simply a burden on the interests of private industry?
