I am a bit surprised there aren't nuke extremists who paint an equally dire picture as wind/solar fanatics. Nuclear proponents mostly just seem to be reasonable people, and those are the least likely to be loud/self-promoting/alarmist.
Some of them live in their energy-gobbling MacMansions,deep in the suburbs,burning a village-worth of fuel each year, to get their SUV to and from their Sierra Club flesh-market getaways.
I'm part way into 'The Long Emergency',and the author has mentioned in passing,that France had supplied 85% of their electric power needs without ever a mishap.
