Being anti-nuclear is pretty much accepting the status quo though.

Elon Musk would disagree.

If you believe in a quick solution for energy issues then you shouldn't halt all nuclear development and leave fossil fuels for the next couple decades.

Nuclear plants take 30 years at least to get through planning and building. Gas fired plants or pump solar can be deployed within a year, Wind + Solar in even less time.

I like nuclear, but her view makes a lot of sense to me.
