MFer you also have flying creatures, where is your pelican carriage

Pelicans don't produce that much lift, you'd need like 1000 of them for just one carriage.

Also nuclear power can't easily ramp up and down to energy demands like coal

Coal and nuclear both suck at changing output quickly. For a quick ramp up/down, you need hydro or gas generators. Hydro takes only a few minutes to ramp up while most (US) coal plants take more than 12 hours.

There is no excuse for still using coal power.
