We need more nuclear, which is far more reliable and has far less of a footprint than solar/wind, but operating plants are shutting down every year while only one new plant is currently being built in the US.
Still need oil/gas for other purposes, but nuclear would provide the cleanest and safest baseload.
This. I don't understand why nuclear is having so much trouble coming into the spotlight. If we want to talk emissions, stop bringing up renewables - nuclear is much better for the economy, the infrastructure, and the environment.
