I used to hold the same opinion that reducing carbon without going nuclear wasn't possible. But, with increasing cost of nuclear power US, EU not categorising nuclear as green and not funding it, India seeing huge delay in their construction of nuclear plants in fleet mode, I came to conclusion that nuclear is not going to be built at scale needed at least in this decade. China is having success in their build out, but China's approach without huge bureaucracy/political overhead is not possible elsewhere. The time for nuclear was 2 decades ago, missing that a decade ago, if there was huge govt investments into it in US or EU. I am hopeful energy storage prices would come down similar to solar in coming years with multiple pilot projects of sodium, flow, thermal batteries expected to come up in few years. Energy storage with offshore wind, solar and solar CSP might be the only option at least for a decade.
