Part of the high price of nuclear comes from pricing in all potential negative externalities upfront. Production of solar cells requires a lot of energy and 80% of them are made in China where most energy comes from brown coal. If we priced that negative externality into the solar cells the numbers would look a lot different. Battery storage has similar problems.
