What are you talking about? Of course coal is worse than nuclear power. The discussion is about renewables vs. nuclear.

The discussion should be about all the ways we need to act to meet our energy needs (including efficiency measures to reduce overall demand). Pitting nuclear against only renewables offers the “nothing different can be done; continue to burn coal, natural gas, and other fossil fuels” conclusion.
There is no fight between renewables and nuclear. They need each other. It's a fight against coal.
