I think that is a relevant point. But if solar capacity is that much cheaper you can just build much more of it and still offset thenprice.

Germany had >80% renewables for many days this year

Are you suggesting nuclear is steerable? Because afaik it is not.

I don't see an alternative to 100% renewable + higher capacity to offset storage inefficiency. France is trying it, but it is super costly and unreliable.
