When the marginal cost of electricity is 0, you can also build overcapacity and dump electricity that you don’t know what to do about without any problems.
But anyway am the issue here is about storage. And storage is getting cheaper by the day. Utility scale storage is also a lot cheaper.
Finally, if Germany was to build nuclear today it would cost far more than what they are paying for any other electricity source.
There’s a huge difference between the cost of nuclear whose capex was already paid for by the government decades ago and new nuclear. New renewables are cheaper by far than new nuclear.
