So the cost (price) of energy in the other end (china) should be 25%+ (plus the expected ROIC) to make this endeavor worthwhile



Chile is among the best places in the world for solar power, projects are being completed with power guarantees at costs under $0.03/KWh -- a 25% increase or even 50% increase would be pretty cheap power, according to the EIA still at least 1/3 cheaper than electricity from an incremental advanced nuclear plant.

Also the cost of the infrastructure financing and depreciation - which I would imagine would be significant. But maybe not? Does anyone know what something like this would cost? I'm imagining A LOT.
