Nuclear power is essential. The cost debate misses what it uniquely delivers: reliable, dispatchable clean energy that can be located near population centers. Wind and solar, despite their lower costs, can't provide the consistent baseload power modern grids require. They're intermittent by nature and often located far from demand. Their ideal role is supplementing nuclear's stable foundation, not replacing it. Grid stability has real value that goes beyond simple cost-per-megawatt comparisons. The real question isn't whether we can afford nuclear power, but whether we can afford not to have it if we're serious about reducing carbon emissions.
