Yes, because we can rely on fossil, nuclear, or hydro to give us reliability and pick up the slack when renewables falter. Just look at Germany, which just approved new coal plants because it needs more energy, and they are stuck to their demented plan of decommissioning nuclear plants.

It's also worth noting that France is producing less than half the greenhouse gases of Germany, despite having significantly less renewables, because it has a serious nuclear infrastructure.

It is also worth noting that a sizeable fraction of France's reactors are currently offline and France is dependent on imports to cover the gaps.
