This argument sounds rational but isn't. It ignores some huge problems - fossil fuels have been subsidised for decades. They will obviously appear to be cheaper than nuclear which is one of the few industries that designs for the worst case scenario. Wind and solar are also subsidised - by electricity consumers. Their volatility has a price that is currently absorbed by the grid and is ultimately paid for by you and I.
