First problem is storage. We simply don't know how to do it and there is nothing even remotely resembling a solution in the work.
Second renewables are not going to produce enough energy, currently, they only produce around 1% of the worlds energy needs and that's with a heavily subsidized and politically motivated backing.
Third, the cost of these super grids is going to be astronomical.
Nuclear is the only optionon of the clean energies that are both:
Green (no CO2), cheap and plentiful, scaleable and reliable.
The capacity factor of nuclear is handsdown unbeatbale compared to wind

The idea of wind and solar being effective is based on the in my opinion faulty idea that energy density isn't the most important factor.
