Lower energy consumption is politically less feasible to implement, regressive and undesirable.
Bipartisan refers to cooperation of two political parties, not 'America'. But sure, few other countries have only two major political factions. More generally I meant to promote nuclear energy in political cooperation.
You are right in that the obvious is shutting down coal and gas plants.
The less obvious is that natural gas generation is very cost competitive. Solar/Wind are not viable solutions at the deployment velocity we need to achieve targets.
Also, they are not base load, so you are assuming storage is available and cost-competitive which seems to be 5-10 yrs from now.
An honest conversation of decarbonizing electricity has nuclear front and center.
