Renewables currently cannot power "the majority" of the power grid. We don't have the battery (or storage) tech to make it true so that the grid can be stable and reliable without blackouts all the time, and not all areas of the world have the wind/solar they need even we did have cheap dependable massive battery (or storage) structures. Sure it can be achieved in some places with hydro pumping but that certainly isn't true in 90% of the cases. If we want to nip climate change in the bud -now- nuclear is the only chance we have.
