> $20B for 300MW

Estimated 20B CAD for 4 x 300MW power stations.

Is that competitive compared to solar/wind + battery? I doubt it.

The press release claims it is. But other jurisdictions can build 1GW of solar + battery for $2B.

Keep in mind that 1 GW solar does not equate to 1 GW firm production.

As much as you care to build for.

It isn't even competitive with other nuclear reactors.
