The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.
Renewables won't be able to handle consistent base load requirements, especially as we transition to electric cars and have even more demand from the grid (and that's not even talking about increasing energy demands for heating and cooling to combat the weather effects of climate change), and will need to be supplemented with another form of generation. We need to be building out both nuclear and renewable generation to get us off of fossil fuels as soon as possible.
