apples to oranges.

A Watt is a Watt. Renewable isn't baseload until you add storage. As such, nuclear is needed for now.

But storage and PV is scaling at insane rates.

The duck curve is the opposite of your misleading 6am graph. And England just recently ran on 100% carbon free sources, with only 7 of 45 GW from nuclear. https://bettersociety.net/Drax-renewable-all-energy-uk.php#:~:text=For%2050%20hours%20over%20the,and%20export%20low%2Dcarbon%20power.

As storage grows all that excess is now effectively dispatchable baseload power.

As said, probably 1-2 decades before that's fully deployed but it's coming
