Renewables are becoming cost-competitive with gas and at some point we’ll again be faced with the reality that gas, in addition to being a fossil fuel, is finite. Renewable prices are going down. This is also true of offshore installations. Gas prices will inevitably go up.

I agree that dangerous nuclear plants should be shut down. Ones that aren’t dangerous should be subsidized. I don’t see a market or a need for new nuclear plants.

Globally?
