A man who once had radioactive piss from a nuclear accident chose that over nukes.
No, he didn’t. He (or rather, Congress) financed a lot of research into alternative energy due to the oil crisis.
In actual fact, he pushed mostly for coal as a domestic energy source as a response to the oil crisis. His main concern regarding nuclear during his presidency was due to proliferation concerns.
In his defense, the magnitude of impact of fossil fuels on climate change was not as well understood during his presidency. That would take another 10 years.
As I said, 1988 was the year Congress got the expert testimonials and when the UN founded the IPCC.

Governments are starting to experiment with SSPSes so we’ll likely see those start to replace coal too.
