The crazy part is that all over the world nuclear is being phased out as it's uneconomic compared with renewable energy. I wonder why they chose now as the time to endorse it, just when it's no longer relevant. So strange.
It's not one or the other. Renewables on their own can't work. They need to be paired with another energy source. This is where Nuclear (or coal or else) comes useful.
Coal displaces renewables. Nuclear power displaces renewables. Gas plants don't displace renewables. I seriously wonder why people don't understand something this simple.
