Honestly, I'm at the point now that I believe that if you follow the money and memes, you'll find the oil industry pushing the anti nuclear ideas. The anti nuclear environmentalists being useful idiots to them.

That being said, even if you can't use green energy everywhere isn't an excuse to use it everywhere it could be used. At the very least, it would buy use more time to figure out more solutions. The people who are saying that EVs don't help because our electricity is primarily from gas and coal are deliberately leaving out the fact that the demand and infrastructure of solar and wind are also rising. Not having EVs would only lessen the demand and makes me suspicious about the origin of that meme as well.
