Forbes had an article on the true cost of nuclear power in the US. It turns out clean coal generated power is only slightly more expensive than regular coal. On the other hand Nuclear power is significantly more expensive and only makes economic sense because of subsidies.
I didn’t see a chart in the the article so I made one with their statistics. Enjoy.
