The only reason the nuclear industry is pushing for more nuclear power stations is beacuse you can trade the fuel. In renewable energy reactors, wind, hydro, tidal power sources are all free, which means no market.

what a strange statement.......there is no nuclear "industry" any more than there is wind industry or a tidal power industry........there are utility companies which are in the energy industry (or in some parts of the world, countries building power plants).....
if you are talking about the construction companies, there would be just as much a push from the people who sell the equipment and technology for wind farms as there would be from those who build nuclear plants.......
the simple fact is, because of climate, there are places where wind farms or solar plants simply won't work.....and there are certainly places who can't benefit from hydro power or tidal power because they don't have dam-able rivers or ocean front.......
