For the price of a gas power plant you can buy some *serious amount* of LiFePo4 batteries, and Sodium Ion batteries are now also slowly hitting the market. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38361094 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38361094 At some point we may still need small gas power plants to charge the batteries but how many days a year would we have to do that? It may be a touchy subject, but to me Nuclear power is absolutely not the future because for the money you can deploy so much renewables, including batteries, it just doesn't make sense. And they are never on time and on budget.
