To come back to the start of the thread: we're getting there...

Not really.

With heroic effort we've managed to get the cost of "alternate"
sources of electricity down to 2 to 4 times what conventional
electricity costs, with the best costs being in the limited areas
where the alernates are optimized, for example solar power in very
sunny locations.


The effort can hardly be charaecterised as heroic and your figures
are incorrect since the costs of fossil fuel and nuke doesn't include
the borrowing involved.


"Fossil" fuels have nothing to do with nuclear energy.




The cost of electric production by nuclear energy includes the total
life cycle cost of a nuclear facility if the numbers are honestly
derived.



Nope.



The total life cycle is everything from the first study to the last
cleanup on shutdown.


But not the storage of the fuel or the cleanup of the damage done by it.


Talk to me again if the experiment at Cadarache succeeds, otherwise, you
can keep them.
