Non-dispatchable generation sources are just fine, so long as you also consider storage requirements and transmission improvements in the total cost. If we could get commitment to those things as part of generation rollout I suspect the total cost per MW would be comparable to nuke, provide the same base loading capacity (better actually, since it could quickly respond to demand) and not generate nuclear waste. If we aren't able to summon the political will to tackle the storage and transmission issues then I agree nuke is the best option but it;s silly and reductive to paint it as 'nuke good renewable bad'
