    I don’t think anyone arguing for nuclear power is arguing against other forms of renewable energy. But that base power is super important and right now it is primarily created through carbon-producing sources.

    You can go fully hydro/wind/solar but if you’re still borrowing from the neighbor’s coal plant at peak times it’s not exactly clean power.
