> you can never reach 100% renewables. So you need a backup, which is either gas or coal.
Why isn't nuclear the backup? "90% renewable, 10% nuclear" sounds politically-viable; it's still "moving away from nuclear."

I wrote "in the long term" for a reason, by the way. I'd prefer to get rid of coal before nuclear despite the danger.
