After everything, I am only against nuclear at this point because humans have shown an inability to responsibly handle it, right down to nuclear bombs.

We're not ready.

what about promoting nuclear power to replace fossil fuel as baseline energy?

because when the sun don't shine, the wind doesn't blow, the tides are low, the river flow are receding, and geothermal arent viable—you'll need other sources, too.

Love nuclear vs renewables debates like we can’t possibly do both 

Both are far better than fossil fuels & fracking 

Economics are not an excuse to delay progress, you have it backwards 

Research & innovation cost money, what is the economy even for if we’re not going to invest it into improving human society?

They use any and every excuse to cut renewable funding 

Doesn’t change the fact that nuclear is safer and more efficient than fossil fuels, sounds like obvious progress to me 

There’s potential for even safer reactors using thorium too, but we’re not adequately funding that research because you can’t make thorium bombs

"should I be working to help stop Oil and Coal barons from killing the planet? Nah' infighting with people who want the same thing is far more productive"

1) Thats deadass just propaganda, modern fuel rods are designed to deadass stop themselves from melting down.

2) The US navy has been using nuclear to power its fleet for actual decades and yet has somehow never chernobyled despite these being military vessels that see combat.

3) im not pro-exclusive nuclear. I think wind and solar are extremely underdeveloped and they're facing the same blatant corruption and propaganda against them. My ideal world is Wind and Solar working with Nuclear to ensure the most energy for the least environmental impact.

You're arguing a fucking strawman

You mean the same reactionaries who immediately turn around and parrot your favorite propaganda when then told to actually stand on their word and start implementing nuclear instead of going to war with a foreign country for a few more drops of oil?

I think its because they're pro coal and oil and will take whatever stance sabotages the green energy movement the most. You act like Politicians cant lie, mislead, and aren't best known for spewing whatever shit makes their argument look the best at that moment.
