Biomass as a product is not as expensive as many may assume. It is however a common believe that the process of making biomass is rather costly as compared to other sources of energy and this directly impacts on the cost of biomass as a finished product.
The most recent nuclear power station built was Sizewell B in Suffolk, which started generating in 1995 and delivers almost 1.2 gigawatts (GW) of electricity. At 1991 prices, it cost £2,733m to install, which is around £3.7bn today. All this money came directly from the state. Add on the interest that would have to be paid to banks on money borrowed during its 13 years of construction, and the cost of Sizewell B is over £4bn

well you can get pretty good ones from the pound shop xx
Yes, you have to grow the plants, or collect the garbage, and there are maintenance costs for the power station, which can be the same as a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, but without causing global warming.

Biomass energy comes from plants - such as wood waste, corn kernels or non food energy crops which are generally used to make liquid fuels, heat or electricity. The cost of energy produced from biomass always depends on the type of biomass that is being utilized, the type of energy being produced (heat, electricity or fuel), the technology used and the size of the plant. Power plants that can burn biomass directly can generate electricity at a cost of 7 to 9 cents per kilowatt-hour.

I thick that Biomass fuels
No. A nuclear power station is a massive undertaking, and is cost effective only on the large scale.
no
The cost is free, the energy comes from the Sun (trapped by plants). However, the price of biomass (what you have to pay for it) is not fixed and varies from country to country, place to place and what the biomass consists of.
billions of dollars
around £3.7 billion
