People in the USA* pretty big detail to leave out of the title, this isn't a global study.
I'm not from there but I wouldn't have any problem with such installations as long as they're done tastefully, so as to not affect the beauty of the land any more than what's essential. Renewables are the way forward after all!
I belive nuclear and some day fusion is the real way forward.
Nuclear fission is at a dead end. Long history of going overbudget and overschedule. SMRs are several years away from being proven, if they fullfill their promise at all; fission is littered with The Next Big Thing that ended up being a fart in the wind.
Fortunately, it's also unnecessary at this point. Getting to 95% solar/wind/storage is a very achievable goal compared to getting to 100%, and that would be huge.
getting to 100% nuclear would be huge too
