Sure, in the medium term, nuclear probably is the best solution. But, nuclear is not going to save us from 1.5°C (nothing can, in fact)[0], and it isn't going to do anything for us for 20-30 years. That's how long it takes to build a nuclear plant in the US.

We can't let nuclear distract us from the goal, which is preventing more serious warming.
