The only thing holding back renewables is cost -- particularly that there aren't really off-the-shelf battery storage solutions yet, the reason why this article is a headline is in itself indicative that it's still immature as of yet. However, it's obvious that this is going to be solved soon, the actual battery tech is there.
and if cost is the main thing holding back renewables, nuclear will never win, because it's an order of magnitude more costly. It takes a LONG time for something that costs a billion dollars to break even versus renewables that cost $100M.
