I disagree. The UKs National Grid see a role for nuclear in its Future Energy Scenarios (https://www.nationalgrideso.com/future-energy/future-energy-scenarios/fes-2020-documents https://www.nationalgrideso.com/future-energy/future-energy-...), laying out 4 different energy scenarios in 2050, but wind will dominate electricity generation.
Also, the current generation of EVs will provide a substantial amount of flexibility resulting in £billions of savings for the UK grid and consumers (see https://www.kaluza.com/blog-busting-the-myth-ev-smart-charging-and-secondary-peaks/ https://www.kaluza.com/blog-busting-the-myth-ev-smart-chargi...). The addition of Vehicle-to-Grid chargers will further allow increased renewables.
With the cost of these technologies decreasing, the importance of nuclear power will reduce over time.
