I’m curious how you think adding nukes have an advantage here. You understand that nukes are not easily shut down? If we have a problem with an over abundance of energy, adding nukes to the grid only makes that problem worse.

No. Nukes make up the reliable baseload 24h/day

Have you any idea how a modern day grid functions?

The only other thing that can provide a reliable baseload 24h/day is hydro, which in upon itself is high $$$ to implement and has its own environmental issues.

You should familiarize yourself with the complexities of grid management.
