Setting aside the relative investment risk issues, perhaps customers are happy that they are getting a reliable source of power that is carbon free? Is zero cost the right threshold when looking at the larger benefits, nuclear or solar? That being said, I personally think we are headed to a combination of some always on nuclear combined with a lot of solar. Look to Texas for recent lessons on lack of robustness in power generation capability.

When they had not winterized the grid and an abnormal amount of gas, coal and nuclear power went offline.
