  New metric shows renewables are 53% cheaper than nuclear power. 

 A new
metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore
wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral
energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell pv magazine that figure is less
than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions. A
peer-reviewed study using Denmark as a case study has found that renewable
energy portfolios outperform nuclear power on total system cost in the
modeled future integrated Danish energy system, once the expenses of grid
balancing, storage, and sector coupling are included in the comparison.
