This is your guy! If he says it, you said it!
Here, table 1-2 on page 24. Saved you the trouble.
Advanced nuclear: $7,861/kW.
Wind: $1,500/kW
Solar + batteries: $2,000-$2,500/kW
www.eia.gov/analysis/stu...
You don't have to hire an energy economist to know this, go to the DOE website and search for the table of estimated overnight costs of constructing different kinds of energy, you'll see how much cheaper wind and solar are. You're welcome.
19.11.2025 15:15 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0If your AI company needs electricity, there's millions of acres of land in the united states where farmers are being paid not to farm it in the name of conservation. Buy some of these acres from the farmers and build wind and solar farms there. It's scalable. And cheaper than nuclear.
19.11.2025 15:13 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0so, you need to expand the electric grid and the most cost effective way to do it is solar panels+batteries paid by your company specifically but you don't want to admit it because you want the public to fund nuclear power plants on your behalf?

We'll see if the SCOTUS overturns the Texas decision. Probably. "Racism is totally fine, since it no longer exists"
