Well I did say most of them fall into the 3 to 5 dollar per watt range.
The only place where they do it for near $1 per watt is where most of what the solar power company needs is already in place. Acres of bare roof top, facilities with multi mega watt power service already connected.
Connecting aground up built wind or solar farm to the grid can soak up between 1/3 and 2/3 of the budget.

Too many people completely ignorant and terrorified
of nuclear power in charge and voting to advance gen 4.

I think if we had gen 4 reactors up and running we would be running away from gen 3 as if they all were blowing up like fukushima.
