Nuclear power is not cheap. My grandfather helped build the plant in Shippingport PA. They don't go boom just sizzle. The piping gets brittle and slightly radioactive eventually needing to be replaced. Gasoline was originally a waste product before the Otto cycle engine. Whether biodiesel vegetable oil or algae based fuel there will be costs.
