There is a lot of excitement for #offshore #wind but it still needs innovation to become cost competitive.

Average Cost and Time to Market for Utility-Scale Energy Sources

@thomas need to consider Cost of storage with wind and solar. That adds around $0.2-0.5 per kWh to wind and solar.
@thomas the disclaimer states that in the graph! Also not that this is for new development. #nuclear is expensive new (I posted recently about it!) without innovation. However, already built nuclear plants are VERY cheap. On the order of <$0.1/kWh making them substantially better than wind and solar (strong argument to keep existing nuclear online). That’s not even accounting for storage of #wind and #solar.
@coffeemayonnaise lol I was just reading your nuclear post and linked study.
