When someone says they're "green" but hard-core antinuclear I just stop listening after that. They have done almost zero research on the topic and have 99% likely just decided because someone told them it was bad. Nuclear is our only viable path if we plan on keeping a dependable power grid. Battery tech is not currently up to par with what we need to make wind and solar 100% solutions. We need at least a 10X increase in storage density and longevity for that. They should absolutely be part of the mix though as they're cheaper than nuclear per kW
