Nuclear energy is long-term sustainable

Except we need to ban also the gas peaker, and suddenly calculations might show that a) storage isn't as easy b) a lot of locations might need overbuilding on ratio of 10x IF there was good storage c) that gas peaker is going to run quite a lot otherwise

Or you build a bit more capacity and use excess production on good days to produce co2 neutral gas (power to hydrogen to methan) that can also be stored in existing infrastructure.

if by bit more you mean 10x, sure, and that's only cheaper than nuclear if you have convenient geological storage.

Overground storage quickly goes more expensive than nuclear.
