I assume solar would then especially make sense for everthingy off grid running on diesel gen set atm.. prices of solar pv and batteries should be much lower with break even after 1 to 2 years... please no nuclear energy.. not even talking about accidents and nuclear waste but of cost overruns.. new nuclear power plants produce electricity for around 15 US cents / kWh (12.5. cents power price + 2.5 cents for grid distribution) compared to 5 to 10 cents for PV, 5 cents for wind, etc..
