In nuclear powered France residential electricity costs 34 cents a kilowatt hour. The carbon intensity of that electricity is 24 gCO₂eq/kWh. ( Low carbon intensities are good. )

In wind-and-gas powered Denmark the numbers are 44 cents and 103 gCO₂eq/kWh.

Here in solar-and-gas powered California, where I live, it's 42 cents and 123 gCO₂eq/kWh.

Germany is a basket case. Their plan to quit coal and nuclear power in favor of a hybrid gas-wind-solar electric grid went horribly wrong. They pay 47 cents a kilowatt hour for electricity and their carbon intensity is 323 gCO₂eq/kWh

I think it's pretty obvious at this point (to me anyways) that "renewable" energy cannot displace fossil fuels entirely, which is something we need to do. At a certain point adding additional wind or solar to an electric grid increases the price of electricity without a proportional decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.
