I feel like the oil industry has astroturfed nuclear energy, and NIMBYs love it because they know there can not be any significant nuclear capacity that will come online until 2030 at the earliest. Which is my biggest problem with pro nuclear arguments.

I don’t think you are wrong. This article in particular is written by a consultant that works for a lobby group who’s largest funders include energy companies with large fossil fuel portfolio, looking at the author’s twitter profile and writing history revels he’s only real concern with coal seems to be that China is doing it but not USA (there is also a bunch of FUD spreading around renewables, climate denialism, and conspiracy theories, including the great reset).
