With an aggressive nuclear power and electrification program we can make fossil fuels redundant. This of course would make large scale wind and solar projects redundant too.

Wind and solar power cannot make fossil fuels redundant. They might reduce the RATE at which we burn fossil fuels (so far they have not) but they will not in the long run reduce the total amount of greenhouse gasses humans eventually dump into earth's atmosphere.

There is enough natural gas in the ground to completely destroy earth's natural environment as we humans have known it. Hybrid gas / solar / wind power systems will not save the world.
