Let me try.
Q: What can supply humans with clean, abundant energy for centuries to come in the safest possible manner and the smallest environmental impact?
A: Nuclear power.

That reply makes no sense at all.
I refer you to German energy politics and their disastrous decision(s) to spend €billions making their CO2eq emissions higher and their power more expensive.

Aha! That explains why Poland is constructing at least 6 nuclear power plants starting in 2028.
And why Ukraine states it will continue with its nuclear plants and build new ones when the war is over.

Renewables = 75% of Germany’s electricity supply today but it still emits 231gCO2eq/kWh.
In fairness that is on a downward trend.
If Germany had kept their 20 nuclear power plants that grid would be close to zero emissions by now (eg France).

German far-left leader Sahra Wagenknecht, dubbed “Putin’s friend”, claims Russia won’t attack NATO because “Putin isn’t suicidal” and knows NATO’s military edge. She also opposes sending more weapons to Ukraine and once said Russia had no interest in invading.

You’re wrong about « expensive dirty fuel ».
Because Uranium is super energy dense, the fuel costs are negligible compared to fossil fuels.
Plus, density means much less needs to be mined for the same energy production; majority of it is leached these days anyway.
A rather cool YouTube video I think is worth watching:

Thanks I will read that roadmap.

You should check the source of those numbers: 0.203 tCO2e/MWh
= 203 gCO2e/kWh
Hydro normally has much lower emissions intensity, electricmaps.org says 12 gCO2e/kWh.
IPCC_AR6_WGIII_FullReport.pdf does not say that.
See page 616:
"Electricity systems powered predominantly by renewables will be increasingly viable over the coming decades, but it will be challenging to supply the entire energy system with renewable energy."

Is this what you mean: “It was the same story about nuclear power back in the day but we were ignored.”?
You raised “the alarm” about nuclear power, sounds like.
Levelised Cost of Energy “LCOE” ?
LCOE does not provide the complete picture. It only assesses the cost of energy generation when the power source is producing electricity. The LCOE does not account for the expenses of continually producing power…

I’m sorry to say that those words didn’t mean much because they did not make sense.

I pointed out that you mixed a resource (such as: water, natural gas, …) with a product *made from* those resources (electricity).
For instance, we might run out of natural gas (say) but not out of electricity.
You said “…we were ignored …”
Who is “we”?
“It was the same story about nuclear power back in the day but we were ignored.”
…and …what happened to you regarding nuclear power?
Given abundant clean energy, there is no reason for potable water supplies to run low.
Electricity is not a “resource” it’s a product made using resources.
Largest uranium producers include Kazakhstan, Canada, Australia and Namibia. Russia is top 10 sure but doesn’t dominate the supply chain.
Because it’s so compact it is v easy to stockpile many years fuel supply on site.

It’s solar & wind (S&W) *plus* batteries and a fair bit of grid transmission lines.
Make the comparison properly.
The 2014 study tests: ”6 hypotheses about construction cost overruns related to
(1) diseconomies of scale,
(2) project delays,
(3) technological learning,
(4) regulation and markets,
(5) decentralization and modularity,
(6) normalization of results to scale”.
Nothing about politics/regulatory !
