FACT. That is an unbiased statement straight from the horses mouth so I do give it credit. (wind solar and hydro thernal etc with battery storage is dispatchable and is cheaper than coal and gas although the COALition refuses to utter a word on it).
By the way, you haven't done much research bevause it is a well known fact that nuclear is one if the most expensive form if electricity. These are state run power generators tgat run at a loss nut is iff set by providing constant power to power economies at great cost and great risk. Nuclear is simply NOT an option unless it is a desperate last resort.

I'm not sure where you get your facts about nuclear from. Reality is that is pretty darn cheap compared to battery solar installations. The political narrative regarding renewables isn't based on fact or empirical data... it's based on hopes and dreams.
