Nuclear is not displaced by wind and solar, it's displaced by fossil fuels. Nobody's arguing that we should stop building solar or wind to start 20 year long nuclear constructions (though china has it down to 5).

The continued existence of German lignite mining and their expansion of gas are due to turning off nuclear plants before the end of their lifespan.
