I think you are also misinterpreting the parent post. I think they are intentionally providing [money]/[power]. This is a common format when talking about the cost of installed grid capacity. I should have converted your watt-hour numbers to [money]/[power] and used to for better comparison. >For comparison, this graph suggests PV is usually about 3 times that and nuclear usually around 10-11 times that: LCOE is a radically different form of calculation than what you used, and not comparable. It takes into account many other factors, most notably the time value of money.
