Cheaper is the definition of better. Power is a fungible good. Price is what matters. And it's not like they include the cost of waste handling in the price of nuclear energy. For simplicity it is easiest to assume it free. And it's not like it would change the result of the calculus.

    A low maximum price is a better measurement of what is good.

    We had 6 consecutive weeks of country wide harsh winter temperatures this year. Suddenly the fact that electricity was almost free and occasionally negative spot price during summer was irrelevant.
