I am not a straw man.
You act as if there is no role for renewables. The IEA seems to believe the opposite. Who am I to believe?

Finland’s nuclear and renewable power strengths provide a solid foundation for reaching its ambitious climate targets, IEA review says

Further progress can be made by speeding up deployment of wind and solar while pushing forward efficiency measures to bring down the energy intensity of the Finnish economy
Finland has one of the world’s most ambitious carbon neutrality targets and is in a strong position to achieve them given its already low reliance on fossil fuels. But to fully reach its climate targets while ensuring energy security and promoting a sustainable economy, greater efforts are needed to speed up the deployment of solar and wind, and to wean transport and industry off their reliance on oil and gas, according the IEA’s latest policy review.
Since the Agency’s last policy review in 2018, Finland has updated its Climate Change Act to include a legal requirement to reach carbon neutrality by 2035, along with binding targets to reduce all greenhouse gas emissions by between 90% and 95% by 2050.
Thanks to its fleet of nuclear plants and high shares of electricity generation from biomass, hydro and wind power, Finland already has a low reliance on fossil fuels. In 2021, fossil fuels covered 36% of its total energy supply, well below the IEA average of 70%. Among IEA member countries, only Sweden has a lower share of fossil fuels in its energy mix. Finland has no domestic fossil fuel production and imports all its crude oil, natural gas and coal.

It seems strange that they don’t suggest “speeding up deployment of nuclear power…”
