Complete nonsense. Nukes/fossil generation is not necessary. They will hang around for a while, but it makes no sense to build new ones. Solar + batteries are the cheapest form of generation. And are rapidly getting cheaper. Grid forming batteries can provide the frequency regulation and black start capability of spinning turbines.

Distributed generation and storage will make the grid more resilient.
