The nuclear part isn't the expensive part, and building a plant 'cheaply' isn't gone save you that much money. > Solar and wind aren't inherently expensive. Wind requires a gigantic amount of resources. A single super large wind power plant that produces 4MW at low utilization and has to be replaced every 30 years requires as many resources as a comparative 200MWe nuclear reactor. If you go from first principle, and you really look, at what goes into these things, fission nuclear is clearly the cheapest. This goes for land use, general resource use and for the environment. > Even the USSR-style, dangerous designs aren't cheap enough. In fact making safer nuclear plants is CHEAPER not more expensive. Building inherently safe air cooled plants makes it massively cheaper.
