No. It’s as simple as:

A) battery tech isn’t good enough or clean enough

…and…

B) renewables aren’t reliable enough (peak generation times don’t line up with peak demand times)

You could learn this within 1 minute of asking chatgpt, so I’m not sure what the motivation is here if you actually aren’t anti-nuclear.

Also, for human society to move up the kardashev scale (or even just utilize current AI) we cannot do it with renewables. Renewables only scale by using up a crap ton of fossil fuels to mine the materials and factory produce the equipment and ship it around the globe. Nuclear runs steady and practically forever off material that fits in a small box.

Ultimately, we need both. As China has already realized.
