Nuclear power doesn't have to compete with solar and wind during quiet winter nights-- it gets to compete against batteries + solar/wind. Grids with a lot of renewables are also dealing with a lot of stress on the electrical grid: http://www.pri.org/stories/2015-04-07/when-grid-says-no-wind-and-solar-power-companys-technology-helps-it-say-yes-again http://www.pri.org/stories/2015-04-07/when-grid-says-no-wind... It's a solvable engineering problem, but the meta operations problem is: "is it cheaper to have a grid that is 50% nuclear and 50% renewable, or a grid that is 100% renewables with a lot of battery-stations to absorb/emit the variances"
