We are getting to storage solutions already. But I think many of us think nuclear for base load and massively overbuilt solar and wind so that we can handle the full electrification of our system would be a net economic win as well as an environmental one.
Also, consider that we have a connected grid outside of Texas and that the weather is not usually bad everywhere.

How would you introduce a nuclear baseload to this grid?
