There is a tiny, tiny amount of baseload energy available from renewables compared to our demand for it. We can spend more money and commit resources but we might as well be wishing on a star. What happens when renewables fail to fill the bill (as they always do) is we fall back on coal or natural gas. It's a lie.

If you want to say nuclear power is too dangerous that's fine, but I would guess you wouldn't be willing to turn off your power at night until an alternative is discovered, would you?

Even with all the "shitstorms" nuclear is - by far - the safest form of practical power generation we have for the forseeable future.
