You make it sound like nuclear is the only solution to this problem. It's not. It's merely a very expensive solution to this problem. There are all sorts of storage options being considered currently that each have their own cost profiles. Some of them are very cheap and simple too. And when solar is basically orders of magnitude cheaper in terms of GW/$, you can afford to have quite a lot more of it than you need to compensate for cheap but relatively inefficient storage options and still be cheaper overall.
As I said in my original post, cost is the key driver here and nuclear has a lot to prove.
