…than nuclear, which long ago proved to be cheaper than fossil-fuel power, at least in high-load-factor applications. Nuclear is often quoted as having a very high cost, but when you look at what you get for the money, the picture is quite different. This is especially important because most decarbonization schemes imply at least tripling electricity consumption in the wealthy countries, and much greater increases in the poorer ones.
