Historical Costs
see Fig.1
Cost of new designs
ThorCon MSR:
$1200 per kW + $0.03 per kWh
Cost of alternatives
Rooftop Solar (no batteries):
$2,900 per kW (nameplate), $11,600 per kW avg (25% Capacity Factor)
Wind Turbines
$770–$850 per kW (nameplate), down from $1800 in 2008.[2]
$3240 per kW avg (25% Capacity Factor)
Batteries:
Lead-Acid: $300 per kWh

Hydrogen:
$2 per kg promised by mid 2020s[3]
$1 per kg ten-year goal set by DOE[4]
$0.12 per kWh electrical energy storage cost, assuming $2 per kg of H2, and 50% overall efficiency
