Nuke's pretty expensive though isn't it?  The December issue of Discover 
Magazine (page 19) puts the cost of generating 115,400 BTU (amount of 
energy in one gallon of gasoline) at:

Hydro:            $0.91
Wind:             $1.66
Geothermal:    $1.69
Biofuel/B20:   $2.70
Gasoline:        $2.86
Nuke:             $3.75
Natural Gas:   $5.37
Solar:             $14.44
