    I’m not quite why the argument is “nuclear or renewables.” It should be nuclear AND renewables.

    Renewable energy generators have improved significantly in the last two decades. I’m sure they will continue to improve.

    Nuclear power is a hell of a lot cleaner than coal. And it seems nuclear power plants have improved tremendously. We should use them.
