Nuclear Power Much More Expensive Than Offshore Wind Energy
The cost of nuclear power is at least £200 per MWh, much more than the cost of offshore wind power at £140 per MWh. This is according to new calculations by the Energy Fair group, stripping out all subsidies. ‘This confirms that nuclear power is entirely uneconomic,’ said Dr Gerry Wolff of Energy Fair. ‘There … Continue reading Nuclear Power Much More Expensive Than Offshore Wind Energy
