Nuclear was abandoned by germany because it was hella expensive IMHO. The security concerns might have been an excuse.

Going back to nuclear now that renewables are cheap and available is insanity. Uranium comes from Australia and Africa, how are we less dependent there?

Nuclear plants are expensive if you have to build a new one, Germany had them but closed them due to ecologists campaigns. And it's not possible to rely only on wind and solar, you need to burn gas, petrol, coal or, if you don't want to emit CO2, use nuclear energy. Otherwise you'll risk having blackouts like the one that happened in Spain last year
