Article pitches this as either/or when it's very obviously going to be more of one producing more of the other.

I do get tired of the "nuclear energy is better than climate change!" as though our voracious demand for cheap energy will neatly cap itself the moment we get X new nuclear facilities online.

But I also get tired of hearing people insist that nuclear energy is on the horizon, when nobody is building new plants. This is a vaporware technology. It isn't in the production pipeline and there's no reason to believe posting your Nuke-Love online will change that
