The 2.03 cents per kilowatt hour cost for nuclear power is inaccurate.

December 19, 2011. New study published by National Bureau of Economic Research states: Pg 23 of the report, Table 3 lists the levelized cost of nuclear power as 8.7 cents per kilowatt hour (MIT 2009), and 6.7 cents for natural gas.

Why is gas turbine power more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power?

Gas turbine power is more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power due to the higher fuel costs associated with natural gas compared to nuclear fuel (uranium). Nuclear power plants also have lower operating and maintenance costs and have a longer operational life, resulting in lower overall costs per kilowatt-hour. Additionally, nuclear power plants typically benefit from government subsidies and incentives that help lower the cost of production.


Why isn't nuclear energy cost effective?

It is not true. The levelized cost of a kilowatt hour electricity from nuclear energy is cheaper than any other source of electricity except hydraulic power in some countries.

Does nuclear power make a lot of energy?

Yes, it does. It has the highest joules per kilogram energy output of all of our energy processes and, ultimately, the cheapest cost per kilowatt-hour of all our power sources. Too bad it had the highest baseline cost per station of all the power plants around.


What is is the cost of 1 KWh of gas?

A kilowatt hour is a unit of work or energy, and the product of power in kilowatts and time in hours. So, for example, it can be the work done, at a rate of one kilowatt, over a period of one hour.

How much does a 2 kilowatt convector heater cost an hour?

To calculate the cost of running a 2 kilowatt convector heater per hour, you need to know the electricity rate charged by your utility company. Let's assume the rate is $0.12 per kilowatt-hour. In this case, running a 2 kilowatt convector heater for an hour would cost $0.24 ($0.12 x 2).


Look closely at the chart above. Why is gas turbine power more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power?

Gas turbine power is more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power because the cost of natural gas, which is used as a fuel in gas turbines, tends to fluctuate more compared to the relatively stable fuel costs associated with nuclear power generation. Additionally, gas turbines have lower efficiency levels compared to nuclear power plants, resulting in higher operational costs. Lastly, building and maintaining gas turbine power plants typically require more frequent maintenance and replacement of components, adding to the overall operational costs.


How much would 310 watts of power cost at 120 volts?

Well, I pay about $0.13 for each kilowatt hour of electricity, so, at that rate it would cost between 3 and 4 cents per hour to run. If you ran the 310 watts for a year it would cost about $353 per year. Amazing how that adds up!


How many kilowatt per hour does a 10kilowatts generate?

There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". Kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy. A unit of energy is kilowatt-hour. That's kilowatt times hours, not "per" hour ("per" implies division, not multiplication). If a generator produces 10 kilowatts, that means it produces 10 kilowatt-hours every hour.
