It would be useful to know the cost of the natural gas over the lifetime of the plant, among other things.

IT looks to be very cheap over a lot of years ahead....but yes.

NatGas is cheap, and they're finding more of it all the time. It will be decades before a competing technology will under price it.

Given that it's simpler, without a lake for night-time use or other high-tech parts--I'm sure a gas plant would have similarly low operating costs to its build costs.

Carbon-based fuel--such as oil or gas--is concentrated solar energy, and using it simply unlocks that energy. It is inevitably much more efficient, and less expensive, than any alternative energy.

For the solar plant it would be useful to know battery and panel replacement costs as well.
