On: Cuba’s Unfinished Nuclear Power Station

[pydry]

On average you get 30% of capacity.

But, a solar plant with a nameplate capacity of 1GW is roughly 15-17x cheaper than a 1GW nuclear plant and starts chipping away at gas and coal usage almost straight away, not in 15-20 years.

And produces zero electricity at night.
