As it stands wind and solar can’t power 100% due to them being unavailable at times. Not to mention the insane amount of land and storage capacity required. Nuclear is ideally suited for the last 30% or so that’ll continue to be some form of steady state power generation required to augment renewables.



Nuclear is horrible for the last 30%, since that last part is highly intermittent (if it weren't renewables could easily address some of it.)

Nuclear either addresses just about all the demand, or none. There's not much middle ground.
