Supposedly the cheapest electricity is nuclear at around 1.8 cents/kWh
wholesale. Naturally, gas and oil fired is considerably more
expensive. Hydroelectric is probably cheaper but it's pretty much all
tapped out, even in places like Iran and China, which is why they
want/are building lots of nuclear plants.

Does that include amortization of construction and decommissioning
costs?



What decommissioning costs? You really believe they'd take the time
and money to decommission the nuke plants afterwards?
