But the issue is you still need something for when the sun isn't shining like what happens every night, and when the wind isn't blowing, which can also happen at night. What will power everything during that time? Nuclear can be the backbone that keeps things running when renewables aren't keeping up with demand. Sadly we can't fully rely on renewables, and between having gas and coal as the backup or nuclear as the backup, I'd prefer a billion times nuclear over the other option
