That’s not been my experience. I live near one of the largest nuclear plants in the world and I pay a pittance for electricity compared to other areas I’ve lived.
Edit: Just checked my bill. I pay 8 cents per kWh, which is magnificent compared to the 12-14 I paid at my old place.
You cannot take your very localised and anecdotal experience and draw conclusions about energy cost as a whole. There are many reasons why your electricity now is cheaper than at a different place at a different time.
Besides, nuclear is very expensive compared to other energy sources, it is however often heavily subsidised. Wikipedia has a nice summary on the cost of various electricity sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_of_electricity
