What make up the number behind the pretty picture.

Proof is green is not cheap. As more in the mix, porer cost goes up .

South Aust..power should be FREE, but they get the gong for the most expensive power.

Germany bleed manufacturing due to power costs.

At $9,000,000 per km for 28,000 km, plus running your back up plants - are these factored into the 'cheap' solar costs or is the soalr plant just an isolted [plant, producing power but not wired into the grid & all the balancing factored in?

With that amount of new wiring..I would hate to have to pay for maintenance.......oh wait we all will...that WILL NOT bring down prices.

Nuclear energy just helped Finland slash electric costs by a staggering 75%

The first new European nuclear plant in 16 years has already slashed Finland’s energy bill by three-fourths.

Olkiluoto 3, or OL3, joins two existing reactor units that have powered Finland’s grid for decades. This latest unit adds 1,600 megawatts to the plant’s production capacity — which means 30% of the nation’s electricity will soon come from just one plant on a tiny island in Western Finland.

When the new OL3 unit was fully activated in April, average spot electricity prices fell to €60.55 ($65.69) per megawatt hour. That’s 75.38% lower than the average spot price

There's a rather extensive report behind that 'pretty picture', try reading it!

The power price during the day in Finland went negative when the nuclear reactor went on.
They have to pay people to take the electricity generated by the nuclear power plant because it can't just be switched off & on unlike renewables.

So do you really want the Federal government to spend your tax dollars on creating nuclear power at $200+ per GWh & then paying people to take it?
