This is the right way to look at the problem for nuclear.

But it doesn't help for gas turbines, coal, etc - it's even cheaper to just leave the gas/coal unburnt till needed.

And most renewables don't make heat to make steam to drive a turbine.

If we want to avoid the worst effects of global warming, we need to be leaving that gas and oil unburnt anyway.
