Yes there are but, only if you ignore the honest accounting of how many billions have gone into subsidizing fossil fuel producers.
There is a lot of things going on that hide the true costs of energy from all sources:
- Subsidies to fossil fuel producers; lack of carbon tax hides the externalities involves with fossil fuel construction
- Renewables are often subsidized directly (e.g. grants) or indirectly (spending on infrastructure to support renewables on grid)
- Nuclear often has large up-front capital costs that require government assistance
All in all, its almost impossible to find the 'true' cost of any sort of energy.
