Unfortunately, nuclear does not fulfill this role from an economic perspective.
Cost of nuclear energy is mostly build cost and maintenance, fuel costs are pretty low. So if you have one, you want to keep it at nominal power for as much time as possible, if you just use it as backup, each kwh is insanely expensive.
For coal and gas, it's the other way round. Building them is cheap in comparison, so is maintenance. They only cost money if they run... So they are pretty good backup plants.
Also... You mean the brand new plant of the EPR Type in Flamanville? Construction was supposed to take 5 years, were now at 15 and counting and cost has gone up from 3.3 to 19(!) billion €

Lucky you don't live in a country where politicians earn 50x the average salary while people are starving

An example for your statement - I’m not quite vegan (I’ll get there as I go), but learning that lentil tofu, and other beans, exists. I’m not a big soy person, so it was an awesome thing to discover the process!

There are alternatives at the ready, and if more people switch they will be getting better and better.

Nah, I get my burger from a farm in the next town over. That's the real solution. If you have the option, buy local. It's a beautiful purple color, rather than the grayish red I see at the store.
