There are so many people that only think in extremes - we should go all in on nuclear and there's no other way. They are the ones that ignore limitations that parent mentioned. Their fantasy will not work and strong opposition to renewables is detrimental to our future.

I don't think anybody except lobbyists argue for that. In most projections i saw from pro-nuclear anti-carbon think tank (such as the one i was memebr of during Covid), the nuclear part in the energy mix vary from 30 to 50% (Depending on what the nuclear would be present for: i think in the 50% model, 60% of nuclear should be controllable plants, vs 100% for the 30% model).
