14. The killer combination Solar energy ( mostly thermal) with EV - providing clean electricity for home, industry, and vehicle use. Costs in 2012 in cents per kWh. Nuclear ( including disposal)11 Solar thermal 12 Coal scrubbed SOx - 6 Coal with CO2 scrubbed9 Cost of switching to solar and scrubbed coal… ? Why bother with anything else?
