Very well written, and than you for the compact compilation of useful data. Just one remark/question. Renewables will only be 100% comparable to conventionals when they include energy storage. But then, the costs of renewables are still higher than the costs of non-renewables.

In other words, either you can use conventional energy to provide baseload energy (and this is a strong argument for nuclear). Or, you have to add the costs of batteries/water-gravity pumping systems/whatever else works.

Luckily, the cost of storage is coming down rapidly as well. That would be another article worth writing!
