Combinations of solar, wind, batteries, and (crucially) some e-fuel like hydrogen enables a 100% RE grid to work even in Europe, at a cost that new construction nuclear will have trouble matching. Europe, particularly eastern Europe, is one of the last places nuclear makes any sense, but even that is an expiring refuge as renewables and storage continue to improve in the face of massive demand driving them down experience curves.
