We have enough fissile material to support the planet for 10s of thousands of years, so the nuclear proponents can speak in theoretical maximums and still beat you. You don't have enough raw materials on planet earth to continue making solar panels for the next 10s of 1000s of years, given that you need to replace the panels every 10-20 years (optimistically).

Commercial nuclear fission is completely viable for anyone not allowing it to become unviable with lawsuits. See: China.

Downvote me all you want, but you'll live in poverty when there are no factories in your town because the lights turn off during a snowstorm.
