Re: Is nuclear energy more expensive than offshore (4.00 / 3)
One of the most important aspects of the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) is the discount rate used. High capital, low O&M projects (e.g. wind, solar) prefer a very low discount rate. Low capital, high O&M (e.g. fossil) prefer a higher discount rate. Who "wins" very much depends on the cost of capital.

Re: Is nuclear energy more expensive than offshore (none / 0)
Indeed it does.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
