The lack of critical thinking here is as apparent as ever. I had forgot Id even make this post. After rereading it, I made a enormous error by misstating KW as MW. The cost of steam gen is $2,500,000 per MW, or a little less half than solar. The fact noone here even questioned the fact that i said solar power costs 2,500 times more than steam is hilarious.

And to whomever said that doesnt include the cost of evironmental cleanup and emissions, it does. The $2,500/kw costs includes SOx and NOx emission controls and the costs associated with cleanup when a unit is retired. If you were to take those out it would be closer to $750/kw.
