I am pro-Nuclear as the next guy, both from environmental and job creation perspective.

But renewable can reduce emissions and has been proven to do so.

I wasn't arguing to the contrary, my second statement was tied to my first.

Reducing or eliminating nuclear has the negative effect of increasing emissions and reliance on fossil fuels to fill the immediate and long term void that would be left.

Renewables do a wonderful job, but they can not, at this point, take on the share that Nuclear has to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels should nuclear be elimated.

As said, perhaps in the future. But not at this moment.
