No cost estimate for the eventual disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Your math is a little too simple.

hey, did you look at geothermal? there's a tax credit for that, too.

I have...I feel like a need to do something in the next year or so to have an alternative to what I am using now.

Actually, I have considered selling my house and building a new one with all of this in mind!

Mike is right. The disposal of nuclear waste is cheap by comparison, figuring for output.

In some European countries there are smaller 'household' sized units being used. These are more of a vertical design. They remind me of spinning kitchen fan on the roofs of restaurants, or like a hand cranked mixer.
If I recall, they are not quite as efficient as the big three blade units. But if as many people had one as had tv antennas in the `60s, we collectively could go a decent way towards reducing our emissions.


The problem isn`t the COSTS of the waste, as much is the issue of WHAT to do with the stuff. That crap will remain dangerous for many tens of thousands of years.

Oh wait, I know, we can send it to the middle eastern countries instead of spending MONEY for oil!

BTW, if we ever do figure out a good and safe means for disposing of that stuff, I`ll be jumping to get back on the nuclear bandwagon. After all, it IS a very clean form of energy (compared to what most of ours is today).
