    Isn’t it about the energy mix rather than all-or-nothing? An all-nuclear option would be an expensive way to go low-carbon, but including a big nuclear share in the mix (alongside cheap wind and solar) seems like a good way of guaranteeing reliability in days when the weather is less favourable to renewables, whilst keeping the total cost of electricity reasonable.
