shlarblegarble schnornobyl sure thing bud
ai writing this shit for you? long fucking island? NY?
you mean 3 mile island, PA.
it's hard to take anything you write seriously when you don't understand basic geography.
I don't even disagree with you, mostly, we'd be better off going all in on renewable and storage, but some heavy industries - concrete production, smelting, heavy industrial processes, chemical manufacturing - all require a baseload that renewables struggle to provide while providing residential and business coverage. Having dedicated renewable generation solely for those loads might work with plentiful storage, but you'd have to over-buildout your generating network to handle both.
That said, I'd rather just continue with the nuclear we have - the enormous investments have been made already, keeping them running - and avoid SMRs and other silly shit. Nuclear + renewables would completely wipe obviate coal/oil.
