Surprinsingly enough, the French nuclear electricity costs about as much as hydrocarbons. It seems the "almost free electricity!" slogan of the 1960's was less than accurate in its predictions.
Lots of valid reasons though, I don't know that we've been particularly bad at this. Nuclear fission is just not the insanely cheap producer economic theory would suggest on paper, at least not in all configs/countries.
- antisthenes 7y agoThere would be no reason to charge the end customer less than the hydrocarbon electricity, as long as the demand is there. It could be 0.05c/kWh less and still be an economic solution.
