The generation of electricity through nuclear power plants in the United States cost 29.13 U.S. dollars per megawatt-hour in 2021.[1] > Also there's nothing intrinsically expensive about nuclear, Oh, but there certainly is. The historically high cost of nuclear power electricity is largely due to capital costs (that you would be paying for whether the plants produced electricity or not), and because plants in the US have often not been designed to ramp up and down easily, they tend to be operated continuously. It takes $10B before the first watt of electricity is generated. Uranium costs a fortune. Waste storage is astoundingly expensive due to amount of time it must be stored, not to mention the cost of security for that storage. Meanwhile, a typical solar system in the U.S. can produce electricity at the cost of $0.06 to $0.08 per kilowatt-hour.[2] [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/184754/cost-of-nuclear-electricity-production-in-the-us-since-2000/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/184754/cost-of-nuclear-e...
