Saturation of daytime loads with solar kills nuclear by lowering its capacity factor or daytime pricing, which some people object to.
It’s clearly a net win environmentally and economically, but for anyone who sees nuclear as part of a green future storage in some form is a massive requirement.

"We shouldn't do this thing, because it might threaten that other thing that we don't do anymore" is a weird argument.
