The world added 61GW of (mostly onshore) wind power in 2019, bringing the total capacity for wind energy to 650GW. (650 1GW nuke plants were not built.) https://gwec.net/global-wind-report-2019/ https://gwec.net/global-wind-report-2019/ 76GW more wind energy was planned for 2020. Considering relative cost and time-to-build, it's far too late in the game to even consider nuclear.

Except that certain percentage of renewable energy has to be backed up by something that can cover its unreliable nature. If you don't accept nuclear into the mix then you have to do it with hydrocarbons.
