Nuclear can be curtailed, it's just uneconomic to do so unless the price is literally close to zero or negative.

> Nuclear can be curtailed
I know, that's why I said it's basically never done. And it's usually not even done even if the price is zero or below, because a lot of nuclear power plants have fixed prices that are guaranteed by the government. Also, operating costs of nuclear power plants stay the same even if you curtail it 100%, so it's more economical to curtail something else.
