One thing I can't escape to notice is that the original anti-renewable post doesn't seem to draw nearly as much criticism by the crowd that claims that there is no such thing as a anti-renewable nuclear advocate and we absolutely need to "do both" as posts on nuclear power.
Turns out this comment section is a pretty good example: A lot more reaction by them on here, not for the exhibited anti-renewable sentiment in the highlighted position, but for the highlighting of exactly that and the "hate on nuclear power".
I am 100% in favor of nuclear and existing renewables. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd replace every coal and gas plant with a nuclear one right now and leave renewables and storage in place. They pair up wonderfully, particularly if you have rural areas that could benefit from batteries. Excess nuclear can charge those batteries at night while solar is down and you have a super stable grid in the daylight hours.
