It’s not that simple. Questions on base load are legitimate even if storage and having a large grid alleviate the issue. Then in the case of solar there are the issues of both land usage and recycling in the context of an increasing demand. Nuclear is not a panacea. It has very good space used to power produced ratio and little but complicated to deal with byproducts. That’s why people like it. Anyway it is highly unlikely that the problem of power production will be solved with only one mean of production.
