All the rhetoric in the world cannot change this fact: fossil and nuclear are cooperative elements of the same centralized system.
Far from being a case where the choice is nuclear or fossil, what we are confronted with is nuclear and fossil fuels acting as a monolithic entity of large-scale centralized thermal generation that operates under the traditional utility economic model.
The actual alternative to that fossilized carbon/nuclear system is one of distributed renewables. I know you can't admit it (even though I'm sure you know it's true) but here is a sniff test for the newcomer to the topic.
Conventional fossil fuel dependent utilities have been embracing nuclear for decades and they haven't moved an inch off of their focus on fossil fuels. But since renewables have become an economic force - within the past 7 years for wind and 5 years for solar - the fossil centric utilities have been doing everything within their power to stop the roll-out of wind and solar.
Why?
Because, with absolute certainty, those fossil fuel dependent utilities know that distributed wind and solar spell the death of the traditional fossil/nuclear business model.
So rant, be obnoxious, mislead, misconstrue, and misdirect all you want - the path forward has been set since China decided to focus on manufacturing wind and solar equipment.
