The economics change very fast if we disallow fossil fuel from being used in the energy grid. The current combination of using wind when the weather is optimal and natural gas/oil when demand exceed production is a very cost effective strategy, and it is this combination that has enabled energy prices at very low levels.
A large reason why nuclear has recently gain a lot of popularity is that wind + natural gas has quickly became very expensive and political damaging. One can no longer just pay Russia for cheap gas and look the other way.
