The article looks at the cost of energy over the lifetime of the nuclear power plant. There is no argument that energy generated through fission is very cheap when looked at that way. However that totally ignores the enormous startup costs.
The great thing about wind and solar is that you don't have to build a whole farm. You can start small and keep adding as you come across more capital.
In any case I don't see why one needs to make it a dichotomy. The entities who invest in alternative energy are probably not the same ones who could invest in a nuclear power plant because of the above mentioned startup costs.
It's not clear to me whether fission will come back any time soon but wind and solar will keep gaining in market share.
