24/7 reliable source of energy supply:
"Coal, natural gas, nuclear, biomass, geothermal and hydroelectric power are all capable of providing energy 24/7, what energy experts refer to as "base load" energy."
Link"Traditional base-load providers (coal and nuclear) take a
long time to turn on and off. Natural gas, while capable of being built to ramp up quickly, is often built in slower, combined-cycle systems to
reduce costs. For this reason, even at peak production for solar and wind, base-load plants are kept running so they are ready to provide energy when the renewables no longer can."

Scomo's intermediate Gas power generation is a practical strategy in the transition to the ultimate "safe" clean energy generating. Renewable require energy storage on battery cells which require a lot of raw material and energy to make, lithium, the current preference, has a head start in technology and commercialization. There are other battery technologies that can potentially replace rendering the capex ineffective on the return on investment.
We have the largest untapped Uranium resource globally and together with Spodemene, is competing for attention. If the nationalism in Covid vaccine stockpiling is already a reality, who knows what happens in 2050. currently watching 'Space 1999'. LOL
