Costs per megawatt of different sources of electricity generation. Nuclear (regular plant) - $220-$350 Small modular nuclear reactor - $189 Wind - $45 Solar - $35 Solar and wind could generate twice what the entire grid currently uses, and still cost less than half what nuclear power costs. This includes the costs of new storage, and transmission lines. Small modular reactors also don’t exist commercially, and even if they work (no guarantees), they won’t be available until the 2040s.
