I responded on the substance of your question here: http://www.theoildrum.com/story/2006/10/30/231713/57#32

I don't understand your confrontational tone because I don't see what you're trying to achieve here. I've mostly on the pro-nuclear side of the debate here, and I've discussed the cost of nuclear various times, and i don't see how you could imply in any way that I've been peddling lies, and to be frank, I deeply resent that word. If you think a number is wrong, call me on it, give your arguments, and let's discuss it. If it's wrong, it's wrong. I can make mistakes.

And just so you know, I'm making a real effort at remaining polite here because your attitude is frankly unacceptable.

btw, the 40% number has nothing to do with physics, and everything to do with the weather, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

Nuclear energy in France - a Sunday special

The real cost of electricity - some numbers (well, lots of them)
(I suggest you go see the externality costs table in that diary if you want to complain about taxes)

120MW at 40% availability = 48MW on average = 48.000 households.

Not 120.000.  That's what's wrong.

In the EU, an average household consumes around 3500 kWh per year. That's significantly below 1 kW average power, the latter more corresponds to the USA (and perhabs Scandinavian countries).
