These days nuclear power is by far the most expensive of all sources. That's because our nuke plants are so old. In all states that went deregulated "stranded costs" were the big issue. "Stranded costs" are for the power companies that have nuke plants, they complained that the government made them invest in nuclear, and in a competitive market they cant compete on costs. "Stranded costs" becomes another "hidden" subsidy of nuclear power in the deregulated states. Not to mention the long term storage issues of nuclear, that's on the taxpayers dime. So there are some costs that are just absorbed by the government that never even get calculated into the "price of power".
