Also ensure that consumers pay for emitting atmospheric CO₂, including backup power when wind and solar are offline due to weather.

Do you mean that for the purpose of backing up wind and solar, it will be cheaper to use fossil fuels and sequester the carbon, than to use nuclear energy and sequester the waste?

No it will be cheaper to backup renewables by renewables with infrastructure then building nuclear for world wide carbon neutral electrification.
