We should keep a diverse portfolio of generation methods. The nuclear plants are nearing end of life and they should be replaced with newer ones - that's all.

Drop at very least the first one from that list and preferably both the first two, I'm firmly in favour of the rest and totally agree. No-one has suggested we abandon them though as far as I'm aware, merely that we renew and increase reliance on nuclear generation. If it means lessening reliance on fossil fuels that's a bonus.
It's laughable, with technological progress, that we are even contemplating continuing to burn hydrocarbons to generate electricity.
