Nuclear power is already being phased out because it is too expensive.
Uranium is cheap and inexhaustible. To the extent plants are expensive it's because we've chosen not to build them, in part since most Democrats don't support them contrary to the opinion of most scientists.

Like most clean power advocates, I want to keep our current nuclear capacity going as long as we can. Also, we should invest in research for new, safer nuclear energy.
I agree

As for your fear of squandering trillions of dollars, you have no idea about that either. You are just making stuff up.
Even small taxes and regulations compounded over 100 years will add up to trillions of dollars. This is equally valid as your projections that climate change will cost trillions of dollars of damage, which even if true, the "Green New Deal" won't prevent.
