That's kind of funny. Nuclear energy is actually getting more expensive:

A few reasons come to mind:

The newer the technology, the higher the cost.
Each reactor and its power plant is a huge project. This makes scaling up production difficult. And please don't start with tiny reactors. We're not in Fallout.
Safety standards have risen.

There are probably more reasons. I would of course not compare it to coal but to renewables. They're the future. Storage will be needed but those options are also getting cheaper by the day.
