There is no Green future without nuclear energy as a component.
By saying “yes, it’s better than coal but not as good as wind/water/solar/geothermal” you’re missing the forest for the trees.
People are using coal and gas today. Without moving to nuclear we will keep using coal and gas. There is no near-term future where we can live on 100% renewable energy.
