Meanwhile, I don't see any evidence that renewables are not a viable option. But capitalism will fix it. Renewables are cheaper than nuclear, and don't require that much upfront investment either.

We're beyond that phase, cost has gone down dramatically. But I just checked the numbers again, renewables only win once you internalize the cost of CO2.
