Electricity from nukes costs about 2 cents per kwh. From natural gas or coal, about 4 cents per kwh. From wind, about 12 cents per kwh. From solar, about 16 cents per kwh. Hydroelectric is actually cheap until you factor in the cost of building the dam.
Sorry, that is reality.

If a country wants to pay 16 cents per kwh, they can go all renewable.
Pretty expensive bragging rights if you ask me.

How much is smug worth?
