Huh? The newest AP1000s in Georgia cost 34B (and counting) for 2237MWe. That’s like 4x the cost per GW in the numbers you quotes for the solar installation. But wait, there’s more! horrible ROI and massive cost overruns: > During the construction of Vogtle's first two units, capital investment required jumped from an estimated $660 million to $8.87 billion.[7] ($18.3 billion in 2022 dollars[8]) > Two additional units utilizing Westinghouse AP1000 reactors were under construction since 2009, with Unit 3 being completed in July 2023.[9][10][11] This last report blames the latest increase in costs on the contractor not completing work as scheduled. Another complicating factor in the construction process is the bankruptcy of Westinghouse in 2017.[12] In 2018 costs were estimated to be about $25 billion.[13] By 2021 they were estimated to be over $28.5 billion.[14] In 2023 costs had increased to $34 billion, with work still to be completed on Vogtle 4.[15] So why bother? Because base load? I mean damn, why not just toss in a couple Moss Landing type tesla megapack installations instead? At 2.2GW, even if u wanted to store power for 12h, thats 26GWh. Moss Landing is 2.8GWh and it cost $560 million.
