but LCOE is price only for WATTS, not for watts at specified time!!! you need watts at night too. so be careful about that, this mistake can make shareholders loose interest in your point...

but yes, LCOE of PV+12hour battery was lower then nuclear, even before 2020/2019 saga...

Nuclear is still more expensive even when you account for the cost of storage and transmission. So your point is a good one but it doesn't alter the conclusion.
