Wind and solar can get you very far and are significantly cheaper and easier than nuclear, so it only makes sense that we ramp that up to 50%+ of the energy mix immediately, with power lines and natural gas peaker plants in place to smooth out temporal availability. I'm not discounting nuclear and see its value for base load power, and I think anti-nuclear energy people are puritanical idiots and definitely do not want to vote for anyone who is against nuclear, but I get the sneaking suspicion that nuclear power is often mentioned as a way to misdirect away from wind and solar for political reasons which is a shame since these technologies are such easy wins that can be implemented right now.
