Yes, but it also mentions gas prices.

Fracked natural gas came along and screwed up the economics even though it is high carbon

Yes, excessive regulation prevents nuclear from being competitive with fracking

It's not a simple topic, and this sort of depends on how much you value cheap energy vs. safety. If we want fossil fuels to be as safe and non-destructive to the environment as nuclear energy (as it currently is), it would probably become very uncompetitive compared to even current nuclear.

Of course fossil fuels are necessary for wind & solar to function, so that's not happening.

Nuclear is cheap, safe, reliable, better than basically everything else, ect. We just tacked on unnecessary regulation to make opening new plants de-facto impossible

Nuclear is literally not cost competitive with fossil fuels.

If we deregulated nuclear it would still not be cost competitive with other energy sources.
