Electricity is a public utility. Profit shouldn’t come into the question. When it does you just end up using coal and gas, which isn’t good for the planet or people at all.
One of many reasons is the issue of distribution at a distance. It’s terribly inefficient to deliver power to distant locations because you get drops the further you go. Another reason would be strategic. You don’t want to have too much infrastructure centralized on a single location in case of war.
Then why dont you have 100 nuclear plants on that space
Because it’s not profitable for the oil companies
I tell you a secret, It’s not profitable for anyone.

Unfortunately I do not make these decisions for our country.
But placing power generation far from consumption is probably not the move.
My response was about where to put waste.
