Rock,

The production costs of electricity for nuclear power is only one part of the total costs. You need to add the social costs of risks of a melt down, terrorists stealing radioactive material, dismantling a nuclear plant after its operating live, storing radioactive byproducts for 10000 years that no state wants to have in its backyard. Once you add these costs and come to the REAL total costs you will find that renewable energy --like wind energy --is cheap by comparison.

Take care
