I'd recalled the reliance on nuclear from when I spent some time upstate NY.

The problem with solar is the sun refuses to shine at night or brightly when you need it such as in winter. You can store, but that needs huge polluting batteries that need to be replaced/disposed of regularly. Compared to hydro storage that's easy behind a dam with no batteries. Until you get massive solar fields in Arizona or similar, nuke and fossil have to be the backbone. Even then you need some fallback position: I was at JFK airport by mistake during a state power cut you no doubt recall. Total disaster. Missed a daughter's birthday and broke a valuable antique enjoying the charms of JFK without power, especially the darkened restrooms that were as bad as you might imagine...
