My comment was referring to when you mentioned the average person not being able to harvest nuclear energy as an argument against it.

I'm 100% for broad solar adaptation and even laws forcing new homes to be built with them. The other renewables you mention aren't harvestable by the average person either sadly.

I think nuclear is an important tool for running clean societies. Industries need a lot of power and I can also see mini reactors being bought by small towns for their citizens. It has its uses when the renewables aren't pheasible but the best is always solar or wind farms and hydro for sure.
