Believe parent is comparing and contrasting the problems inherent in intermittent renewables vs nuclear. Intermittent renewables (in scenarios shy of wanton overbuilding) result in deficits, which requires energy storage to address. Energy storage (aside from pumped hydro) is pretty carbon-messy. Surplus, on the other hand, can be bled off into energy-negative carbon sequestration. There's obviously lots of other points, but it's mostly fair under economically realistic scenarios.
