We can have plenty of both.

We don't need both. We actually just need nuclear, and no amount of throwing away my tax money on wind boondoggles will change that. The Norwegian Labour Party royally screwed the Norwegians with wind, they had to make all other energy much more expensive to make wind feasible, and wind is still not feasible, everything else is just ungodly expensive with 5% monthly inflation on food.

Norway has all the power it needs from hydro. But exporting electricity is good, since it will help europeans get off fossil fuels. And the north sea is pretty windy, so it's a good place for windmills [1]. Nuclear would also be good, but unfortunately it's extremely expensive, a lot more expensive than the windmills you seem to hate.
