So with renewable getting cheaper by the minute, how can we justify the cost of nuclear?

Renewable is going to be so cheap that losses in transmission over distance will be acceptable. Meanwhile here in UK we have costs for nuclear *guaranteed* for the next thirty odd years.

Exactly. Solar will be dirt cheap.

I think the original reason why nuclear was added to the mix was to diversify the risk, back when fossil fuels were the mainstream option.

But nowadays, that doesn't make sense anymore. We already have diversity:

solar
wind
renewable biomass
water
battery storage
