New nuclear power in the west is currently very expensive with rising prices and and extremely slow to build (see for example hinkley point c).

I‘m not sure if battery storage, which has predictably falling prices, isn’t already cheaper than that, but you can at least already calculate when it is going to be.

A sensible strategy is to keep old nuclear plants running and invest heavily in renewables and energy storage.
