I’d bet you the cost will be $140B when it’s all said and done, but this website won’t be around in 2044 (assuming no delays, good luck with that). You can bet regulations won’t stop changing over the span of decades either.
I’d rather have 70GW of solar and batteries deployed in a few years, and replace them with even cheaper ones in a number of decades.
Batteries: https://www.tesla.com/megapack/design Solar: just google 1gw solar cost
Figure out how much solar overcapacity and batteries you can get, within a year or two, for the price of a nuclear reactor deployable 10-20 years from now.
Also their LFP batteries are extremely simple and recyclable forever.
Lots of jank due to this custom terminfo.
