Fact: that is a fake statement.

Nuclear is not renewables competition.

Nuclear provides a base line energy production.

Both renewables and fossils produce a variable production line.

So within a rational production scheme the choice is nuclear+renewables or fossils+renewables. As renewables by themselves cannot work. Because there is months over the year when it's not sunny, not rainy and not windy enough, what do we do for those months? We close humanity during those months because some political dogma says so?
