On nuclear: my understanding from reading a bunch of stuff about the energy transition is that nuclear is expensive, slow to be built, is safe until it isn’t, and continues to have the unsolved problem of storing radioactive waste.
Whereas wind + solar + storage are inexpensive and quick to build. They require material resources though, to be sure.

With you on basically all the other stuff though!
Agreed. At this point, I’m not against nuclear, but I don’t think reactors can be brought online quickly enough.
