It's a pity I didn't get here in time to mention the IFR taht Argonne developed for President Carter specifically to be proliferation-resistant that could be fueled on "nuclear waste".  That might have made for an interesting speech.

When you dial capacity factors into the equation, wind/solar 15-30% to nuclear 80-95%, you need to multiply that $1 a few times ;)

alphadude:
dog thats out of context.. those panels are for indepents (home panels) the power is there because the home owner has stored it.(100% ready)  those figures you quote are based on large arrays and dont take into account other factors such as the home owner tayloring the demand to what is "stored" onsite in the bank.(which scares utilities)  the numbers you use are based on if no one changes their demands and jim bob chevrolet down the corner keeps adding in flood lights on those anti-american gas hogs he sell. ($$$ to saudi)
