It's a classic case. The unimaginative always come up with solutions that don't work. "If only everyone would agree, we could have nuclear power plants" / "If only everyone would agree, we could have universal masking and vaccination" / "If only everyone would agree, we could have better public transit". Well, face it, everyone isn't going to agree.

That's why solutions like EVs and wind+solar win: their success is not conditioned on an impossible fact. Instead, wins can be incremental and progressive. You can put one EV on the road, and then two, and then more. You can put a few windmills in one place and more in another. It doesn't require you to convince everyone.

That's pure delusion. People will reject your solution just like they reject nuclear. Even more so, since millions of people can't afford them.

They didn't. EVs and Wind+Solar exist and are expanding at a much faster rate than nuclear in terms of installed and generating capacity.

That is only true right now. There will be opposition to those ideas in the future, not to mention fundamental limitations of those ideas. There will be a return to nuclear power simply because it is a good idea and the anti-nuclear worldview is just outdated fearmongering.
