Nuclear and renewables are not good together. You can't adjust the output of Nuclear to the up and downs of renewables. Nuclear is a lot more expensive than Renewables. So Nuclear have always to be running, which makes the price go up. You can't build more renewables to make the price go down if you have Nuclear running.

The cheapest way is to have renewables produce energy and store it in batteries.

    Out of what, large scale, battery is available?

    I haven't seen one yet. Tons of prospects, none deployable on the size of say, the north american grid.

    For example the biggest Battery Storage in germany is happening this year https://www.diesachsen.de/en/economy/germanys-largest-battery-storage-facility-launches-near-leuna-3169138

    And we will see more and more of projects like these in the next years.

    Like even Texas is investing into Renewables + Battery Storage. Even they get it
