Renewables should complement nuclear. "And" not "or"

The thing is we've gotten so good at burning coal that the base load cannot realistically be carried by renewables and transmitted to where the load is. Nuclear, with it's challenges, is the only technology that can fill the power vacuum left by base load coal and gas generation stations.
