And nuclear has still sat there being too expensive and solving nothing, proving the point, but apparently this is evidence of the opposite.

My argument was that while waiting for renewables to become cheap, we could have built nuclear instead of fossil capacity and avoided a shitton of emissions. The Messmer plan being an existence proof that such a thing would have been possible.
Renewables passed nuclear a long time ago. If the economics of renewables weren't making sense, the economics of nuclear were worse.
