I'll copy another comment I just made. Here's the table I used
Technology | Cost (US$/MWh) |
---|---|
Solar | 116–312 |
Gas | 87–346 |
Advanced Nuclear | 67 |
Geothermal | 67 |
Wind power | 60 |
Nuclear is far more efficient than both gas and solar energy, and it is comparable to both geothermal and wind.
Edit: As has been pointed out to me, these figures are from 2007 and are exaggerated compared to current data, especially in the case of natural gas. I highly recommend seeing Table 1 in this paper from April 2014. Thanks to /u/quastra for posting the link.
