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 Yankee Nuclear Power Station in Rowe, Massachusetts, took 15 years to decommissionâor five times longer than was needed to build it. And decommissioning the plantâconstructed early in the 1960s for $39 millionâcost $608 million.
