It's true that grid solar (not wind) is cheaper per kWh produced. But:
1) there are real problems with solar lacking nighttime production
2) the nuclear plants in question in Germany are mostly already functional and for the most part just need to be turned back on. That is much different than new construction of a nuclear plant

Nuclear power plants would only replace some gas power plants for electricity production. There aren't many able to be turned on again.
More Russian gas and oil is used in transport and heating. Nuclear power plants play no role in providing energy for heating, transport, and similar in Germany.

So it would only do some good, therefore don’t do it?
