First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in Georgia::ATLANTA — A new reactor at a nuclear power plant in Georgia has entered commercial operation, becoming the first new American reactor built from scratch in decades.
Where are you getting this “$32 per watt” number from?From googling I cannot find anything even close to that ballpark
It’s from this article: $35 billion spent / 1.1GW output = $31.8/watt
I think $31 billion would have been the more accurate number to use. There wouldn’t the same contractor buyout thing for every reactor.
Sorry, what article?
The article this post is about did you read the link?
I do not see any link
The article this post is about.
I took it he was quoting a title after the “:” but I get it.
It was actually $27.3 billion because the journalist was an idiot and couldn’t do math.
Utility scale PV is currently around $1 to $2 a watt installed, depending on your region. Some projects have come under $1/watt.
But, you still need batteries and a solution for winter and clouds. So pumped storage, nuclear, hydrogen etc are all options.
