Abstract

A comparison of costs and CO2 emissions of New York's nuclear power and with renewable scenarios until 2050 is provided. Shutting nuclear down today and replacing it with onshore wind will save $7.9 billion until 2050. Renewable scenarios lead to CO2 savings up to 27.4 Mt until 2050. Reinvesting cost savings from renewable scenarios into additional wind capacities will increase CO2 savings up to 32.5 Mt.
