Can you back these figures up? No, you can't. Long-running nuclear plants like France's are much cheaper to operate and maintain than wind/solar. Wind turbines get decommissioned after 10-15 years around here (typically because government funding expires and they can't compete on the energy market), solar is better but still needs expensive storage capacity to make it competitive in availability.
Unless you assume France's nuclear plants are still benefiting from taxpayers' funding decades after they were built, the market has proven that nuclear power is far cheaper than wind and solar.
