Where are you going? To file the paperwork?

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.
