As an indication of just what a disaster the Trumps and Duttons of the world are, calculations show that if the US were to convert its electricty grid to renewables, electricity there would cost under 3 cents per kWh. And that would be only using 50% of the renewables capacity. Right now in Australia electricity costs over 30 cents per kWh. 10 times as much. Nuclear would drive that price significantly higher again, as much as double.
