Take a look at some stats sometime, nothing comes even close to nuclear safety by KWH produced.

There's far more involved in solar than just solar panels.

And if we roll out more nuclear plants, the cost to make a new plant would go down as well, resulting in lower cost per KWH over its lifetime.

Solar is cool and should absolutely be a part of the grid, but we shouldn't be expecting batteries to be our base load supply.
