I was a nuclear operator for 6 years and I've been managing 140MWs since, I've spent almost a decade looking at the cost/benefit of solar, EVs, battery tech, I've looked at where the minerals are mined and how, I've looked at where and how they are processed, how the real cost stacks up against what the consumer sees. I'm not going to go digging for sources because I've seen enough of it for my own purposes. They give a marginal benefit, if they are operated in the long term they are in the green, if they are operated in the short you are in the red. The government should not be providing incentives but I'll happily capitalize on them, I've had 4 EVs and I'm waiting on permits for my solar; these techs could compete at some level with ICE today without the incentives, but they wouldn't won outright, they will likely never compete with nuclear.
