you are a warehouse of misinformation ... nuclear energy is actually cheaper than the coal powered plants. even though the initial investment is high, the maintenance is relatively cheaper and the fuel is cheaper ... ok not pound for pound as Uranium is far far expensive than coal, but for the energy produced per cost of uranium is more than that form coal.
Even with high one-time cost amortized over the life of nuclear reactor, the cost of a unit electricty produced from a nuclear power plant is less.
Nuclear power costs 6 cents per kWh ... coal power cost 9 cents - 50% more.
