Alta Wind was 2-3 Billion on 6,000 acres and is averaging 19% (Wiki states 30% but then also states annual production of 2,680.6 GWh) for .3GW.
.
$7-10/ Watt of average output installed.
.
So why do we cry and pull the plug on a new AP1000 reactor when it hits $7 instead of $4? And will crank out 90% of nameplate day or night for 60 years?
.
Comercial solar PV in my area is $2.50/ nameplate capacity Watt installed but only does 15%. So on average that would make it $16/ Watt. And there will be many days of zero in the winter.
