Long Road for Atom Energy in Domestic Coal Markets
Robert Wilson of the General Advisory Committee to the U S Atomic Energy Commission says atomic energy will not challenge coal in domestic markets for at least 25 years due to cost. He notes atomic power at 64 mills per kilowatt hour versus 3.3 to 4 mills for large steam plants, urging development of affordable methods rather than rushing capacity. He concludes coal will likely increase its share as electricity demand grows, highlighting nuclear energy as a supplement to conventional fuels.
