I appreciate the sincerity of your inquiry. I work in the environmental policy space for a major electric utility and
I'm a geologist my technical background is geology (I'm not a licensed geologist any more), so it's a little easier for me.
Not to argue, but I'd pump the brakes a bit on tabbing nuclear as "...extremely clean energy..." we still have a huge issue around the spent fuel and what to do with it. As someone who has given tours where we walk right over top of millions of pounds of the stuff, sitting a tsunami wall away from the Pacific Ocean, I know first hand. Also, take a look at a map of where most of the US Nuclear Power Plants are...not all of that is due to "well, that's where the population centers are...". The arid West isn't exactly a great place to locate nukes, unless you can tap into that huge heat sink, known as the Pacific Ocean. In California, you can't do that any more.
Here's website that you may not be familiar with...has a lot of great info.

Here's a glimpse of how the fuel mixture as changed from 2011 to 2021. As you can see, coal has been cut roughly in half.
@PAWrocka is correct...what are you going to do about other nations that want to use coal? Who the hell is going to tell China to stop building coal plants? Uncle Joe? You? Me?
