I’d prefer it was a both-and thing, not an either-or. I think we should ramp up solar and turbines much, much, much more but I also think we should have (modern) nuclear installations augmenting things, as we take coal-fire plants offline.

A lot of people are in love with nuclear! It’s so easy to forget Three-Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima. There are lots of lessor incidents.. I’d rather see solutions like better batteries, grid-scale batteries, and solar on every rooftop, wind power where conditions support it. I think they’re a lot safer than dealing with ionizing radiation.
