Renewables are not baseload.

If you add batteries to the mix, nuclear is better.

Not to mention the quantity of power produced. Nuclear is expensive because it's long term investment.

Renewables also cost more in resources (concrete, steel, copper), there are sourced charts about this.

Renewables are better than coal and gaz, but not better than nuclear.

There's nothing wrong with renewables, but it's not enough to offset co2 emissions.
