Facts from Cohen

Breeder reactors use uranium more than 100 times as efficiently as the current light water reactors. Hence much more expensive uranium can be used. At $1,000 per pound, uranium would contribute only 0.03 cents per kwh, i.e. less than one percent of the cost of electricity. At that price, the fuel... more

Excellent information. I would normally point out say that this is the CURE to global warming, but since the facts have recently been exposed, we now know Global Warming is a HOAX, fake and falsified data, intentional mischief by the same scientists that worked with Al Gore... So.. this is still a great idea to solve energy independence. The cost of nuclear fuel is practically nothing... The real cost is some of the many absurd regulations designed to kill it. Some regulation is good, but guess who votes for only the most absurd regulations and calls it progress?

If it was just the raw cost of the fuel, nuclear power would indeed be too cheap to meter.

At $1,000 per pound, uranium would contribute only 0.03 cents per kwh, i.e. less than one percent of the cost of electricity. At that price, the fuel cost would correspond to gasoline priced at half a cent per gallon.
