redundancy is redundancy, no matter how or why you build it in

you lose 1 wind turbine - you've got 2,999 left quite happily whirling away

you lose one coal mine or one nuke plant - and you lose a LOT, and if it's a nuke station - you probably lose it forever

as far as redundancy goes --------- renewables have it as part of a mix

You really aren't very bright are you?

At any one time you might have 75% of wind turbines sitting still due to no wind, that's why such ridiculous redundancy is required. You don't get that with coal or nuclear, sure some redundancy is required but nothing like what is needed with wind and solar
