Nuclear plant technology has enabled the production of small power plants designed to be fail safe. That's the future. For now we need to oppose shutting down nuclear power plants.
Anti-nuclear radicals funded by dirty energy money are an old story. The Brown dynasty in California is a chief offender... Michael's charity (Environmental Progress) has discussed Jerry Brown's subversion of the Sierra Club, which once favored Diablo Canyon.
Micheal is 100% correct that we need more nuclear power. I think he is too pessimistic about renewables, especially solar. Technological advances have made it 10x cheaper to produce in the last decade. There is no reason to think that this march of progress has slowed down.
But we will need more reliable sources of energy for some things, and for those nuclear is the best way to go.
Michael; I recall that Dr. Peter H. Gleick was not too happy with your pro nuclear stance. Your followers should know that his comments can be found with other comments on your book EN.

These are preety old EROI values, from 2014. I can't find anything more recent. I suspect that solar looks better now.
