From my point of view, it's not about a competition between nuclear and solar/wind/etc.

It's about the choices that led to shutting down nuclear instead of coal, oil and the green-lighting of gas projects.

If we were serious about our co2 predicament the conservation and refurbishment of nuclear capacity would be as high as a priority as taking fossil fuel plants offline.

And then after electricity production related emissions has dropped to virtually zero we could have a great discussion on how to go forward.
