Enhanced weathering's goal is to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, not to create energy.
Nuclear/solar/wind doesn't capture already-emitted CO2 from the atmosphere, and direct carbon capture and storage (DCCS) methods currently cost much more than the 20$/T-CO2.
While adopting solar/wind/nuclear is important, the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is already too high, so we need to apply some DCCS to return to 'normal' levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, and enhanced weathering sounds like a promising technology we could use to achieve that.
