That is incorrect. Nuclear is baseload power and as such is way cheaper than solar at that (no batteries). All those EVs charging overnight (only at 2% of the vehicle market right now)? Baseload power that will have exponentially more growth over the coming decades.
We should be building so much nuclear right now it isn’t funny (should be targeting 40-80% of all production to hit net 0 I suspect). That’s like another 3-10 Diablo canyons worth of production. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t build solar. We should to have it handle peak energy requirements and derisk things.
Also we should be building modern designs like molten salt reactors which are safer and cheaper.
