Nuclear Energy is incredibly expensive and has a lot of other issues like long term waste storage. It's arguably better than Coal and Gas but the KEY to decarbonisation is and always will be renewables. The Headline is rather misleading in that regard.

Anyways, solar is also cheaper

Also, be sure to elaborate on the massive waste problem that Solar and Wind create:

I would suggest finding more recent information than articles that already were disinformation back in 2020.

In recent news we are seeing the fossil lobby ally with new built nuclear power since wasting money and opportunity cost on new built nuclear power potentially may stymie renewable development.
