I can guarantee you that transmission costs per kilowatt hour for a Nuke will be far less than for a Solar installation of comparable capacity.

You can? How? It seems to me proximity is the key issue. And that varies.

How can you guarantee that? Nuclear, which is based on the centralized plant model, by definition requires more miles of transmission per KW compared to solar, which can be located close to consumers. Every rooftop can have a solar panel and be right next to the consumers. Just like the Internet. It's distributed and therein lies the beauty.
