Analysis by: GLG Expert Contributor

You should know that DOE recently announced (2/16/10) loan guarantee of $8.33 billion for Georgia nuclear plant as well as this recently announced (2/22/10) loan guarantee of $1.37 Billion for a Bright Source California solar thermal tower. Since I specialize in the economics of renewable energy, I do not have any off the shelf numbers for the cost ($/MWh) of nuclear electricity but I do for solar tower electricity.
