For 2010-through 2017,The EIA rates nuclear @ a 92.2% capacity factor.

As to wind,as farms go to sea,rather from terrestrial locations,we may expect to see the capacity factor aggregate improve into the future.
The winds are better.It looks to be good for sport-fishermen and biodiversity.The pylons are artificial reefs.

At some point,with excess capacity,grid-scale battery storage would allow transmission during lulls,as well as dog days of summer,solar augmented power,with it's own storage.
It takes a village to power America.
