If you just want a historical person as a woman president, there are plenty of other good options. And there is no particular reason to wait until the 21st century, you could slot one in decades earlier if you wanted. May I nominate strongly pro-technology democratic congresswoman Marilyn Laird Lloyd? Though representing Oak Ridge Tennessee from the late 70s to early 90s she'd perhaps do better for a pro-nuke than pro-solar history.
