The once unlikely alliance took root in Texas and now reaches right into the White House, where President Trump wants to ban wind energy projects.

Ugh, yeah that is a frustrating part of any discussion I have with a lot of people I know IRL: they seem to think of it in an "exclusive or" (one or the other but not both) mindset.

In my most humble of opinions, we need to be doing classic nuclear, renewables, and SMRs (and as pipe-dream-ish as it might be, research into nuclear fusion) all at once. Oh, and let's not forget the mass-scale grid storage.

Would that be a hella expensive investments? Yes, but worth it in the long run.
