bevaise human afairs cant be reduced down to a sime harmonic oscillator and solved. There is no equation to solve for "best societal outcome".
renewables are good to an extent but storage is an unsolved and difficult problem. Including enough storage to make them work as the majority source of power for a grid is vastly more expensive than nuclear power. Currently we are nowhere near that however, and given solar and wind deployment are bottlenecked in many places the obvious way forwards is to build as much renewables AND nuclear as possible.
Source on "storage is an unsolved and difficult problem" and "the majority source of power for a grid is vastly more expensive than nuclear power" because both of those appear to be false.
