The thing is that overbuilding solar/wind to the point that the minimal output overcomes peak requirements is insanely expensive. Nuclear is expensive, but not as expensive as overbuilt or offshore (consistent) wind or solar.

Solar is on a downward cost curve. Every doubling of installed cells leads to I think %20 cheaper costs.
