Why go nuclear when renewable is so much cheaper, safer, future proof and less centralised?

Don't get me wrong. Nuclear is better than coal and gas but it will not safe our way of life.

Just like the electric car is here to preserve the car industry not the planet, nuclear energy is still here to preserve the big energy players, not our environment.

I can't imagine a future without solar, wind, and nuclear power.

not unless we find out we are wrong about thermodynamics.

Wind and Solar are "renewable" to a certain scale. If you dump gigantic wind farm in the middle of a jet stream, for example, you can impact downstream climate cycles.

that's why we could be aware of all the externalities.

solar could be deployed on the ocean but that will certainly lower sea temperatures.

let's terraform intentionally rather than just accidentally.
