Nuclear can give us that stable, always-there energy. It's not dependent on weather or time of day, like wind and solar are.

HOWEVER we can absolutely have solar and wind as well. Pic related, solar is the cheapest form of energy on this graph, listed as "PV utility" (PV stands for photovoltaic). And onshore wind has a lower minimum price than lignite coal.

Yes nuclear isn't listed on this graph because it's from Germany and they phased out nuclear. But still, you can see that solar and wind do well compared to fossil fuels.
