"This is happening" "It's not, where is the evidence" "Here" "Just goes to show how strong the nuclear lobby is." Er no. The nuclear "lobby" is incredibly weak, which is why, against all reason, Germany shut off perfectly fine nuclear power plants and almost all the world barely built any nuclear in the last 20 years. However, reality is now starting to assert itself again. China solar is 5%, wind a little more than that. Coal is at around 60%. At those levels adding more unreliable energy to the mix is OK. But you also need stable baseload power, which is why they are also massively expanding their nuclear capacity. It's not a competition, we want all clean energy to stave of climate change, and we'll also almost certainly need additional energy to get all that CO2 out of the atmosphere again. Solar and wind is great for consumers that are OK to be turned off. But a lot of electricity consumption in an industrialized society isn't like that, particularly if we're also going to electrify a lot of the other primary energy consumption, for example heating. I'd rather not have to turn off my heater in winter because it's dark and there's little wind.
