The cost of electricity from nuclear fission is comparable to that from fossil fuels, and probably less than for wind or solar power.
A:Nuclear power does have high capital costs but low operating costs. The effective cost of nuclear power is higher than coal, but burning coal releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, which causes global warming, into the environment. It is cheaper than natural gas and costs about the same as wind power, but unfortunately, the wind does not blow all the time and requires a backup system. (From the discussion page).See link below.
