Its not cheaper if you only count the generation side you are ignoring Storage and Capacity factor those in and its not cheaper anymore.

Cost per kW:

Nuclear: $6,695–7,547

Solar PV with storage: $1,748

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

You ran for the hills when I called out your mistruths earlier. You're still lying.

Here's more:

"Roughly speaking, the total cost of these solar-plus-storage facilities would be:

$8.4 billion for 10.55 GWdc of solar power, fully installed at 80¢/watt

$527 million for hypothetical power grid upgrades at 5¢/Watt

$7.8 billion for 39.3 GWh of energy storage fully installed at $200/kWh

Around $16.8 billion grand total, no incentives

So, Georgia, pv magazine USA just saved you more than $13 billion (as of today anyway)."

He’s just peddling right wing talking points with no intention of actually examining the data.

Your comment is good for anyone else who stumbles across this and is willing to learn.

Did you even read your own article? It's an opinion piece by one man. He's using back of the napkin calculations just like I am, and while his math is mostly correct, and while I love his margins for error for increased solar required to take up the slack for unplanned issues with renewable power generation, he never discusses how much money it would cost to buy up all of that land to implement that massive amount of solar. He conveniently skips over eminent domaining of over 27,000 acres of land required to make such a large solar farm to replace the two already almost completed reactors not even counting to replace the two older already in place reactors... from that same location. Oh then we still have to also pay to decommission them...

I haven’t linked any articles, but Im about to. I know keeping track of simple comment chains is difficult for some people.

https://blog.ucsusa.org/edwin-lyman/five-things-the-nuclear-bros-dont-want-you-to-know-about-small-modular-reactors/

The cost of decommissioning reactors is unavoidable and factored into the lifetime cost of power delivery. They don’t last forever despite the fairy tales people believe about nuclear power.

Talking about land use, what about the storage of nuclear waste? Are you going to have it in your backyard?
