We can look at simulations using actual historical weather data and actual cost estimates to determine how much it would cost to deal with intermittency of wind/solar using storage. The result is something that looks cheaper than fission (or cheap than fusion is likely to achieve.)

Yet, people deciding where to spend their own money are spending it on solar. Nukes are always built with money coerced from other people.

If solar/wind is used to make hydrogen when they are available, you have a energy generating loop that provides energy usable at any time.
