AZ4CC Advisory Board member, Russell Lowes, penned an op-ed for the Arizona Star (Tucson), challenging the alleged benefits of developing more nuclear energy. From a dollar standpoint, Lowes argues, why would the average consumer spend more than three times the price for new nuclear energy compared to solar energy. Dollar for dollar, the average household would get 3 kilowatt hours of new nuclear energy compared to 10 kilowatt hours of solar energy.
