Gas-fired turbines are extremely bad for the environment.

Why would you compare nuclear, which is 100% green, to 'renewables + gas + batteries' which is far from green energy?

Gas isn't great, but it isn't terrible (especially in a world where gas plume burn-offs is a thing).

It's much better than coal, and can be migrated to incrementally (which is much easier than the huge up front investment in nuclear).
