Question image
Graph 1 shows the estimated construction cost of building each of the different types of power plants. Costs are estimated in dollars per kilowatt of electricity (dollars/kW) that the power plant can generate.

Graph 2 shows the average number of days per year that the different types of power plants are expected to operate at full capacity (full power output).



Based on Graph 1 and 2, coal power plants cost ​
than wind, But wind is ​
reliable than coal.
