I am absolutely certain that experts have looked at it, and come to different conclusions.
I’ll even go as far as to accept that there is no scientific consensus.
And what reference do you have for that? A recent one, because as I said, the economics have totally changed in the last 30 years.
Nuclear power doesn’t really produce co2
Concrete does. Reactors need a lot of concrete. A lot.
Renewables are still not ready to deal with base load in a power grid long term
Which doesn't matter. Base load exists because it's cheap to make power plants that stay at the same level all the time. The economics of that don't apply to renewables.
Nothing, nuclear power will buy us time
Utterly untrue. It'll take 10 years to deploy a single new GW of nuclear. That's not buying time.
