There's a important lesson about using nuclear power as an energy source in there. Contrast that with Germany which is shuttering their nuclear power plants in favor of renewables.

There is no such lesson. EDF is going bankrupt, France is spending billions trying to replace reactors aging out and about 20% or so of the ~70 billion decommissioning costs are funded.

The important lesson here should be that retail prices != prices.

I stand corrected!
See my comment to parent. There is an important lesson about not being misled by looking at the wrong data.
