How much does it cost to produce electricity by gas, coal and nuclear by killowatt-hour?

I’m trying to compare the cost of electricity produced by geothermal processes to “normal” processes. Geothermal is anywhere from 2.5-10 cents per kWh. I’d like to know what the average cost is for gas, coal and oil fired electric power plants by kWh.
