The world needs to phase out carbon emissions generally and unreliable suppliers of goods.
We should start with phasing out the mostly costly and harmful emissions first.
Artificial lines drawn between electriciy and other areas are unhelpful.
Once you get below about 500 g per kWh of CO2, which the EU is generally well under, then electrification should be used to offset gas and oil usage in other sectors.
It is fine if you use 1 unit of gas for electricity if you save 9 units elsewhere (roughly accurate figures for home heating with heat pumps in the EU)
And people getting obsessive about nuclear without acknowledging the use of gas peakers and interconnects to balance those grids is just annoying.
Support nuclear by pointing out we can shift cars, trucks, busses, heating and industry to use electricity. A car run on electricity even from the most expensive plants in Europe is cheaper than running on imported fuel.
