- pfdietz 7y agoFission power plants are not now competitive even if the nuclear part were free. The turbines, generators, cooling towers, etc. make them too expensive. So unless fusion can do away with those (that is, use direct conversion of plasma energy into electrical energy) it's unlikely to be competitive either.
