The title should say "nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables and fossil methane", based on these quotes:
> the report calculates the additional cost of making variable renewables reliable at shares of 60, 70, 80, and 90 per cent of the system
> we'll still need gas as a supporting technology
So this is unsurprising. Fossil fuels provide cheap reliability if you ignore the atmospheric cleanup cost.
