Actually the article mentions, that solar is running at 40% capacity on average (according to industry data)

And it's STILL cheaper than nuclear watt for watt.

That being said, I think nuclear power is a necessary part of a sustainable energy mix, because it is much easier to satisfy ground load with it, and you don't have storage issues. (But this article is stupid at best and disingenuous at worst)
