Gas and nuclear can’t replace each other. So that instead I’m your sentence is completely misplaced.

We certainly need gas in the short term. Sure. But you can’t let nuclear take over the role of gas (and other potential on demand power sources, pumped hydro and maybe batteries in the future). That just doesn’t work.

Also, I‘m all for producing an overabundance of power and using that in a meaningful way. But that’s not the issue we are talking about here. Baseline framing of the current problem we are facing makes no sense and that is my point.

Nuclear and renewables don’t work well together.

"Nuclear and renewables don’t work well together."

If so, you've failed to convincingly articulate how. It's a meaningless assertion to me.

The power available from nuclear is useful full stop.
