The answer to energy problems shouldn’t have to be either renewables or nuclear. It should be both to tailor the best solution to the environment in which we need power.
Solar and wind power aren’t always suitable when you’re trying to provide power to places that aren’t known for a bunch of solar or wind power. What’s the solution there? Burn more oil and coal? No. Use nuclear.
Inb4 “just use dams bro”
We literally alter an entire ecosystem when we put in dams for power generation. We should be trying to avoid massive ecological impacts. That’s why fossil fuels bad.
Tldr; stop limiting your ecologically safe power choices. Tailor the solution to the environment you are powering.

After 1980, most of that isn’t true except for the tacked-on comment about renewables.
I hope there’s been more updating than just a tilt of the head at windmills.
