You want CHEAP electricity? Go nuclear.
And for alternative fuel sources:

Battery storage of energy is just too wasteful of resources, when used on any more than very specialized applications.
Exactly. But hey, unless we get a license to line the reactor cores with the bodies of conservatives, climate deniers, or racists to provide shielding, I have given up on the concept of common sense solutions to energy problems.
I am into any concept that leverages nuclear power from pebble bed reactors to thorium reactors, but...stupid people are in power, and stupid people hold the keys.
Nuclear power available 24/7.

A typical 1,000-megawatt nuclear facility in the United States needs a little more than 1 square mile to operate.

How much uranium is needed for a nuclear power plant?
About 27 tonnes of uranium – around 18 million fuel pellets housed in over 50,000 fuel rods – is required each year for a 1000 MWe pressurized water reactor. In contrast, a coal power station of equivalent size requires more than two and a half million tonnes of coal to produce as much electricity.

How much electricity can 1 gram of uranium produce?
about 1 MW
The fission of 1 g of uranium or plutonium per day liberates about 1 MW. This is the energy equivalent of 3 tons of coal or about 600 gallons of fuel oil per day, which when burned produces approximately 1/4 tonne of carbon dioxide.

Search: How many acres do you need for a power plant?
Depending on the specific technology, a utility-scale solar power plant may require between 5 and 10 acres per megawatt (MW) of generating capacity. Like fossil fuel power plants, solar plant development requires some grading of land and clearing of vegetation.
