Price of energy

The price of energy per KWh should be one of those statistics that everyone knows about their national economy. It has just as much, if not more impact, on the day to day lives of people as GDP.

As we decarbonize it’s vital that the public remembers these figures because there’s another one. It’s about 0.25$/kwh for diesel, 0.03$/kwh for coal, and 0.06$/kwh for natural gas.

It’s only by keeping the dollars and cents in mind that the necessity of nuclear power becomes clear. It’s one thing to ask people to decarbonize and another to ask them to pay 10-20 times more for everything in their lives.
