It is quite hard to compare $60-70 for year-round super stable power to $30-60 for bursty power.

That being said, unless there is a huge regulatory shift it seems like nuclear won't get much cheaper and solar and wind will continue to do so, so comparing those numbers will get easier to compare as the costs spread further.

Which is all irrelevant, because neither is dispatchable: you get what you get when they're able to produce it.
