Compare the cost of a new water reservoir and dam that can output the same as nuclear, with enough storage in the reservoir to store energy during renewable blackout periods.

More not bigger. This is economically viable in contrast to nuclear that only are making bank since they are funded by tax money. One of the reason he former is constructed. And there are no blackout periods. There is always production of renewable energy just more or less. Nuclear on the other hand goes down all the time.

Nuclear has one of the highest capacity factors. Meaning it actually goes down less than fossil fuels and especially renewables.

A reservoir is only "economically viable" with government action. Nobody is going to be able to acquire all that land without using eminent domain to force people to sell.

No one can build nuclear without handouts. Wanna try and get insurance on a nuclear plant?
