You must be joking. Solar and wind are already writing long-term Power purchase agreements for 3 - 4 cents per kWh. The new Hinckley Point C nuke plant in the UK needs a guaranteed price of 14 cents per kWh

Solar and wind could be free and they would still suck compared to Gen IV nuclear. Unless you only want to watch TV when the wind is blowing (I exaggerate for humorous intent). But in any event, I'm sure you numbers are wrong. Must be forgetting govt subsidies?

Geologic isolation whether in mined repository or by deep borehole, is economical. It is already prepaid too. Where do you get that it isn’t?

or to state regulators to get more of their costs rolled into electricity bills instead of being upfront with their accounting.

However, tide movement/wave energy is better, less risky. There is no such thing as a no-rick nuclear plant. What if a plane is flown into a tower?
