Does Nuclear count as Green Energy? I feel like it should, since it doesn't really pollute and lasts a lot.

Yeah good point. The numbers are a bit closer for fission though. Like phase one we can do renewables but electrification needs way more power than available currently. E.g. green hydrogen. There are valid scale up scenarios where fission is part of the picture, but almost none of them make sense under capitalism.
