Storage at anywhere near significant levels does not yet exist, and might not be achieved in the time necessary to curb the worst effects of climate change. Ammonia and hydrogen storage has been proposed, for decades, yet remains out of reach at the scales necessary to make renewables viable.
Wind and solar is really wind, solar, and fossil fuels. Assuming that we'll be able to replace the last item with energy storage is betting the future of our climate on an engineering breakthrough. No such gamble exists with nuclear, countries like France have successfully produced nearly all their electricity with nuclear power for decades.
