How much do different power plants cost?


coal power
cortex_disconnect asked:


What is the average price range, per kilowatt-hr, of all the different types of power plants, during the last year or two?

Coal
Oil
Gas
Nuclear
Hydro
Wind
Solar

Take into account subsidies, capacity factor, etc. so that it’s a fair comparison.
Total price is no good if you don’t know the typical usable power output.
This is about the cost required to produce a kW-hr of electrical energy from each different type of power plant, and nothing more. Solar is 5 times as expensive as wind, for instance. Please provide references.

wade b asked:


I have an idea on how to build a machine that uses a power supply that is unlimited,and free,and absolutely nonpoluting. This machine will use materials that are readily available,but cost money I do not have. I know it can be done,and the only thing I have is the knowledge.I need someone willing to work with me,who has the resourses,or the ability to get them.My idea is so simple, so unbelevable,I can not understand how it has not been done yet.Then again it most likely has,but not allowed by the govmnt.They could not make money. Coal and oil power would all but dissapear. They said men would never fly,go to the moon,or live with a mechanical heart. This will work. Does anyone know how to get help ?

gary o asked:


These pumps were used in homes in the Eastern U.S. about 100 years ago. How do they work and are they still made and where? I think they were called (blank)- Soningson pumps. Steam was not involved, but had something to do with a heated air chamber, I think?
