Levelized Current and Future Costs of Nuclear, Solar and Fossil Fuels

Levelized Current and Future Costs of Nuclear, Solar and Fossil Fuels

Nextbigfuture has looked at detailed comparisons of energy costs many times. We again look at future costs of nuclear and solar and coal.

Two thirds of the cost of coal energy is the whatever the future cost of coal is. So future coal and fossil fuel energy prices will be determined by future commodity prices. Nuclear and solar power are dominated by the construction costs and financing so future energy costs are not tied to consumables. Although the materials used for construction are a factor.
