The cost of building, maintaining and disposing of the infrastructure and transporting and distribution counts in. I've often wondered, all things considered..including decommissioning that plant safely, if a 5 billion dollar Nuke plant can generate enough power to pay for itself. It's pretty certain that you can get more power out of the fuel than it takes to mine and refine it. Wind power is probably a better bet, tidal pools more reliable.
We'll be better off in the long run, but life is going to change and we won't like that for a long time..till it HAS changed.
