Okay? You haven't shown that an energy source not relying on weather, geographical position or large area is necessary to solve the climate crisis. Don't just throw around more attributes.
> It is safer than almost all other sources (taking into account Chernobyl and Fukushima)
Is it a physical fact of life they are safer (as in, you can't to do anything wrong) or is it our regulations that make them so safe? The regulations you want to remove?

Are you serious? Germamy can't abandon coal until 2030 because of that.
> or is it our regulations that make them so safe?
Did you read my comment? Even Chernobyl's regulation were sufficient to be safe, according to my link. I suggest to stop producing more regulations and build on latest working model.

Can you show me that renewables couldn't hit the same targets with enough investment?

I don't think you understand correctly. First off Chernobyl is in no way an argument in your favor, as it shows that nuclear energy isn't even safe with regulations. Yet you want to remove even more regulations which would increase dangers. Remember, GP wrote:

Based on what you've said you either want to roll back to 1980s regulations, or before that. Both are unsafe.
- nuclear energy is the only way to fend off the climate crisis
- unsafe nuclear energy is the only way for nuclear energy to fend off the climate crisis
- the risk of unsafe nuclear energy is lower than the risk of the climate crisis
Until you do that I will prefer the lower risk option.
