Learn about EROI.
This changes over time with changes in technology. The return on investment for solar has changed enormously since the costs of panels has come down.

It's location independent.
So you think the return on investment for a hydroelectric dam isn't location dependent? You ever see them build a dam where there is no source of water?
You think Geothermal electrical generation return on investment doesn't depend on how accessible geothermal energy is?
Consider Iceland:
85% of the total primary energy supply in Iceland is derived from domestically produced renewable energy sources. Geothermal energy provided about 65% of primary energy in 2016, the share of hydropower was 20%
Do you really think that's not related to their location? You would force Iceland to be dependent on importing oil in order for them to have a positive return on investment for their energy sector?

...way down the list are wind, solar, etc.
Wrong. Those should be used when they are the most efficient. Having multiple ways of generating power is superior to being limited to one source.

You never took or failed physics as well.
Nuclear energy EROI is far greater than every other power source we can produce, no matter the location.
Investment in a dam or geothermal at certain locations works ... but one nuclear power plant at the same location would produce 100x the energy for the same investment ...
Go learn about nuclear fission and EROI ... and maybe read about thorium tiny reactors ...
The future is nuclear and all the other green energy ideas are poppycock
