      Also renewables.

      Also incorrect. We need whatever reduces total cumulative emissions the most.

      A solar panel today does a lot more than a nuclear reactor in 2045. And installing 5W of solar (which will average 1W) today only costs you the opportunity to build 0.15W of nuclear (which will average 0.12W).

      Nuclear isn’t very clean when we can poison a quarter of the earth with it because we’re too dumb to handle it.
