A low carbon energy source is useless if it cannot cover peak loads, which are now being covered by fossil fuels. Years of greenie obstructionism now means that the nuclear plants that would have been built are now missing, and the solutions offered by the anti-nuclear lobby seems to be “let them have energy poverty, brownouts and outright blackouts are not our problem”. This will happen once coal and oil plants shut down, renewables alone cannot cover the demands, especially at peak load.
Anti nuclear sentiment is pro-fossil fuel. You’re inventing problems and prolonging dependance on oil.
Cancelling low carbon energy and making vague promises of spending 10x as much is definitely not a pro fossil fuel move /s

Good thing your straw man isn’t what is being suggested by anyone anywhere.
