Fossil fuels are already getting replaced by renewables, biofuels and economizing energy usage. That's a cold hard fact you people seem to ignore. Technology is getting better. In fact, technology around renewables and energy storage seems to be improving more rapidly than in the nuclear field. 1:1 replacement of nuclear with coal is just a convenient lie you people are repeating so stupid people may believe it. You don't understand the downsides of nuclear power. It's not even possible to build new plants in time to stop global warming. Even assuming those plants could be build on time and within budget. Which almost never worked, historically.

" It's not even possible to build new plants in time to stop global warming." Of course that would be possible. It is a matter of investment and prioritizing. But of course, the biggest problem would be "people like you" (to use your black and white terminology) that would block everything and add extra regulations that do not bring more security, but blockage out of principle. But like I said, going 100 nuclear would not be my plan. I see them as a transition and backup on the way to 100% renewables. What would be your plan? If you would have it your way and all the nuclear plants would have to stop tomorrow. How would you replace them? With what? Can you give a concrete answer here? And it seems you also want to stop all the coal plants. Great. But how to replace them in reality? Can you share concrete numbers and technologies you would use and not just agenda? I don't like to have a coal or nuclear plant in the backyard either. But I also don't like blackouts.
