I'm not opposed to gas as a transitional technology. Same with nuclear. They're both significantly better than coal and oil, and if using them helps us get rid of coal and oil, then that's great and we should do it.

But I don't see them as the end goal; that's still 100% renewable to me.

What's wrong with nuclear climate-wise?..

It's fine on CO2, but it has other risks, not to mention its own pretty long-term waste problem.

But for the short term, I think that's preferable to the much bigger disaster of global warming and climate change.
