... to slow down wind, solar and nuclear, exactly.
Not really. They sometimes bring the nuclear idea to the table as an alleged alternative to solar and wind. But the reality is that in today's democracies nuclear is near impossible to build for a variety of reasons. It's never a real alternative, only one to slow down wind and solar.
For as long as I can remember, the entire world has had 400-something running nuclear power plants. I suspect 400-something is a fundamental nuclear constant.
