To conduct a cost comparison of nuclear energy versus energy obtained from wind and solar, we will look at various factors that contribute to the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), which is the cost per unit of electricity generated.
### Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE)
1. **Nuclear Energy:**
- **Construction Costs:** Nuclear plants are capital-intensive to build, often costing between $6,000 to $9,000 per kW.
- **Operating Costs:**
