Yes, it is a state. A unique state. You do hear about Rhode Island in the news, any time there's a mafia arrest, or large-scale world disaster, like a fire out West, which will invariably be mentioned in terms of number of Rhode Islands affected.
Existing types of fossil plants have a capital cost about $1-2 Billion/GW and new nuclear plants are estimated to cost about $2-5 Billion/GW, depending on the laws of the country in which the plant is built.his translates into an average of about $25,000 per Megawatt-hour and $25 Million per Gigawatt-hour. A storage plant that needs to store 26 Gigawatt-hours (just 1 day's power supply) would thus cost about 650 Million dollars to build (estimated range from $260 Million to $1.1 Billion dollars).
The controversial, so-called fifth generation fighter, the F-35, still in development, is slated to cost from $114 to $142 million per unit in the early stages of production. The B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber costs a min-boggling $2.2 billion.Itâs capable of carrying 40,000 pounds of bombs, including nuclear. You seldom hear the cost of one nuclear weapon itemized, perhaps because itâs difficult to do.ut in his new Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists column, the Institute of Policy Studyâs own Robert Alvarez attempts to do just that. In 2015, the United States has an estimated 7,300 nuclear weapons, but the average annual per-unit cost is about $1.8 millionâa 500 percent increase in per-warhead cost.
