Well, it’s true in North Carolina, according to Dr. John Blackburn, economist and former Duke University chancellor. Accounting for incentives for both energy types, Dr. Blackburn asserts that solar already costs equal to or less than nuclear per kWh, and will be significantly cheaper by the time any proposed nuclear plants could become operational.
Even though the findings are specific to North Carolina, a quick look at the solar resource potential reveals that Dr. Blackburn’s findings could very well prove true in many other states. Image via NC WARN |
