Nuclear energy share and costs in 1985 projections
Nuclear energy could represent about 26 percent of electric power generation in 1985. However the sector accounts for a 30 percent smaller contribution than previously projected, though nuclear plants have the lowest variable operating costs and are least sensitive to oil price changes. They demand the largest capital investment and the longest construction lead time among power plants, making them the most affected by deferrals and cancellations.
Coffee Prices Near Double Over Past Year
Coffee prices have nearly doubled over the year, yet a cup of regular coffee made with certain brands still costs about 6.5 cents per cup, while other brands yield around 5 cents per cup and regular instant coffee under 2.5 cents. The USDA suggests brewing slightly weaker coffee and comparing prices by unit per 6 ounce cup to maximize value.
