    Wind and solar are so cheap because they have had investment and research done for years. Nuclear hasn’t had that type of investment because people have reservations about it.

    Give nuclear all the money “renewables” have been getting and you will see prices drop.

      This sounds like hyperbole. Nuclear has been powering the world for decades. It may not have enjoyed sexy headlines, but it’s hard to believe billions of dollars has been invested in new plants without any research.
