How is solar/wind + batteries cheaper than nuclear? Any numbers I saw omits batteries which would be an unfair comparison.

EDIT: I had asked the opposite question of what I intended.

You don't need batteries with nuclear, at all. There's also less habitat destruction, less issue with bird strikes, less people falling off towers, less issues with "view obstruction".
I think he meant including the batteries in the solar/wind costs, which would make nuclear (relatively) cheaper.
This is what I meant indeed. Edited original question.
