No, it's too simple. Probably simplistic as well.

I don't see how widespread adoption of nukes means the end of wind and solar,
when those two coexist right now with oil/gas/coal generated power.

And it seems to be that the infrastructure for distributing electricity
is the same once it leaves the generating plant.

But obviously my thought on this is not well informed.
