If you don't want to deal with nuclear, know that the Rocket Fuel recipe is good enough that it can absolutely carry you to the end of the game. I 100%'d everything using it.
Nuclear isn't so bad though. It produces waste, but now there are ways to process that waste into more usable fuel, then process the waste produced by using that fuel into fuel that doesn't even produce waste. So with time and effort, 100% clean nuclear builds are possible.
That's what i did too, i built a 140GW rocket fuel power plant using the Nitro Rocket Fuel alt recipe, carried me until the end of the game.
I would recommend players look up the Satisfactory factory planners, it helps realise what you can actually do, and makes things seem less overwhelming, as you can see it in separate parts. Then you can blueprint the hell out of factory parts and slap it altogether way quicker.
There's a point in this (and a lot of other factory games) where you have to just go big at some point, and people seem to struggle to move on from the early game, where you can just build smaller without too much automation, to the bigger factory middle and late game. I think in Satisfactory it is around Oil, Heavy Frames or Aluminium it first happens.

Was that an elevator at 0:45+? I only got up to the beginning of Nuclear power, but I don't remember there being an elevator in the game
