If we believe climate change is a catastrophic disaster for humans now and near future, we should do everything to protect ourselves.
There is a false dichotomy of renewables vs nuclear. Pursuing these options are not mutually exclusive. Only in so far that we want to devote limited resources to the problem.
The real solution is that we should pursue both. Nuclear so we have a back stop to the problem. Renewables so that we have hope for the best case clean and safe energy future.
It is foolish to believe the projections on renewables will absolutely happen. There are a lot of problems that can happen with technology at scale. Nuclear is a surefire bet, with risks being nuclear meltdowns and improper waste management.
