model.energy assumes a flat, constant energy demand.

Which isn't a ridiculous assumption, given their caveats and default options, unless you're trying to argue for 100% nuclear, in which case it renders any conclusion totally nonsensical.

I would really like to see a model that includes demand curves. Or an academic study that includes nuclear as a possibility, instead of just looking at wind/solar/storage. So far I haven't come across either.

(But if we start charging a lot of electric vehicles at night, the demand curves will flatten out anyway.)
