It's not really possible to opt out. Solar and Wind are not really renewable. Wind turbines have a lifespan of about 15 years. The only country that can produce solar panels on scale is China, and it is only competitive to setup due to government subsidies.

Both are also intermittent. What will one do when there is no wind, or at night when there is no sun?

Nuclear power on the other hand runs 24/7. If one lived their entire life on nuclear power, the "waste" they would generate would fit in a Coke can. That is far less than the pollution from coal, oil, natural gas (a nice word for methane).
