That's why smart governments implement both sources of energy. You really want to get at that cheap clean goodness of solar energy, and cover for the lack of capacity with some nuclear power. China, Russia, India are all going with this mixed approach.
Meanwhile, the countries that have US-style democracy... lobbyists and vested interests galore... Are politicizing the issue. One party says nuclear power, the other side goes for solar and wind.
Why take sides when you can have both?
