Nuclear is the achievable & practical interim solution to power an industrial society until renewables become practical / scale up to meet demand. We can build reactors in the short term, they uncouple the economy from bad faith actors like russia & opec, and their more efficient than renewables at scaling right now. Small modular reactors can even be dropped into existing coal plants and recycle their steam turbine hardware.
Frankly I don’t care if renewables are better in the long term, because there won’t be one if we don’t kill coal plants entirely very soon.
It’s me, I’m the nuclear lobby.

We’ll have to disagree. Renewables can be scaled faster and cheaper and have the added benefit of securing the grid through decentralization.
