So it looks to me like we're just gonna get "more nuclear + more combustion."

The appropriate response to a filthy source in my view would be to demand more stringent clean air standards -- or, failing that, at least actual enforcement of existing standards.

The Clean Air Act did NOT anticipate endless delay in implementing control technology.

Going after the dirty burner makes sense to me -- but I see no evidence for the claim that supporting nuclear itself will have the effect of limiting combustion sources.
