The renewables buildout was always tightly coupled with the nuclear phaseout in the political discourse.

The idea that you could've kept nuclear, still have the renewables buildout and close coal early wasn't a political position anyone in any relevant position was advocating for.

Right.

It wasn't a political option.

They could've done it, easily, and it was the sensible thing to do.
