It's not overlooked it's simply not economical. If you want an energy transition towards sustainability, renewables are the way to go.
This is it. Nuclear is horrendously expensive to commission and decommission. Onshore wind is the cheapest energy there is, and solar isn't expensive either. But the fossil fuel industry can't stand the price comparison nor the reduction in demand/scarcity, so in corporate run America, it doesn't happen at scale unless some politicians who actually want to make things better get real power.
