I want to add that I and most pro-Nuke people I know also want renewables. In good wind places, wind is a huge win. In good solar places, solar is a huge win. A healthy grid definitely takes advantage of cheap renewables and ideally peakable businesses develop to more effectively utilize variable power.
We just don't think it's appropriate for everything. To have a 100% renewable grid requires renewables where they aren't a win and tons of storage, and there's a cost to all of this. Renewable isn't free or even non-polluting, it merely means limitless which nuclear effectively is as well.
