Why mention nuclear but not wind? Wind has nearly as low an LCOE as solar, and is still dropping too, and wind power is anti-correlated with solar power, meaning we get more wind at night and in the winter.

Because production costs aren't what's setting the prices, supply and demand is.

Cheap solar and wind power doesn't help when it's not available.
