Tim,

The way costs are calculated is a sum of initial construction, operating maintenance and fuel. Then you divide the total output by total costs.

Natural gas is the complete opposite of nuclear, with low upfront cost, but high fuel costs. Nuclear has high upfront cost and very low fuel cost. Solar is similar to nuclear.
