Nuclear
Costs, Comparative Costs to other sources of Power, and Comparative to average costs.
In 2011, on average nuclear energy was 2.19 cents per kilowatt-hour. Compared to the average cost of electricity it was also cheaper. The average of All Sectors of Electricity was 9.9. Compared to every other sources of power Nuclear Energy was a lot cheaper.
Nuclear energy is also clean as well as it is cheap. Nuclear Power is Carbon-Free. Nuclear Power plants do not produce smoke like all of the fossil fuel plants. The fossil fuel plants release tons of Carbon Dioxide into the air every year. Nuclear Power plants do not to this. Although nuclear waste is highly radioactive for thousands of years, it is cheap and clean. The Nuclear waste however is stored in steel-lined concrete basins with water where it is not touched for thousands of years.
It's cheaper now, but when the demand goes up more nuclear power plants are neeeded, therefore the price of nuclear power will also go up.
Nuclear energy is clean and cheap. Nuclear Power does not add to Carbon buildup in the atmosphere. Nuclear Power plants do not produce thick billowing smoke like coal and other fossil fuel plants. Nuclear waste may remain radioactive for thousands of years, but it is safe when contained, and it is cheap and clean. The Nuclear waste is stored in specially-made containers where it will remain until it is no longer radioactive, therefore eliminating that problem.
In 2011, nuclear energy was about 2.19 cents per kilowatt-hour. Compared to the average cost of electricity that year it was significantly cheaper. The average price for all of the sectors of electricity was 9.9 cents per kilowatt-hour. Nuclear Energy was quite cheaper than the other forms of electricity that year.
