Currently every megawatt produced by wind is just a megawatt not produced by gas. Storage doesnt really make economic sense until gas is consistently priced according to the environmental damage it does or wind starts massively overproducing. Of course, nuclear makes little economic sense if you factor in disaster insurance, but nobody does. Nuclear power is simultaneously too dangerous for private insurers to touch with a barge pole and also apparently too safe for us to worry about it. The cost of maintaining nuclear arsenals/submarines/etc. explodes without a nuclear industry so the UK, US, China, France, etc. are happy to throw oversized subsidies at it, let the taxpayer insure it all and run PR campaigns about how only it can save the planet. ...all while glaring angrily at Germany for turning off coal plants "too slowly" while slyly ignoring that Japan is turning a whole hell of a lot of them on.
