And maybe bring back nuclear power plants? Nah, that would actually make sense!

Sure, because buying Uranium from the Russians is so much better than buying their gas. Also totally not a limited resource, absolutely not extremely expensive, does for sure not take a long time to build, has now downsides at all, does not even produce waste.

Canada and Australia have tons of uranium. Magnitudes more than Russia

No one is saying a country should run on Uranium till it exhausts. It is there to supplement renewables till we can have major breakthroughs there.

It is not like burning gas doesn't come with its challenges of handling waste

There is plenty of Uranium elsewhere, plus if you build the right reactors, you can use Uranium much more efficiently.
