People have a hard-on about nuclear being “baseload” power and renewables being intermittent. Solar/wind plus batteries to add dispatchability is a valid comparison to nuclear if you only want to talk about baseload.
This is due to corporate greed. Solar and wind are the cheapest sources of energy in the history of the world.
Even current lithium-based battery storage is already cheaper than nuclear.
Tens of thousands of innocents dead? Uh… No. I would think there were far more effective methods that should have been used.
