We need more power in the short term, as long as our population is growing and std of living is going up we'll need more power short term. You can't get a nuclear plant even on the drawing board without getting taken to court by enviro groups. This kind of activity pours money into lawyers pockets thus nothing gets done about stopping it or even just restricting it legislatively. It's no wonder its been years since a new one has even been proposed in the US. 30yrs estimated to geta new one thru the court challenges and actually built and making power.

Other countries have or will have a more secure energy future than we will because of this silliness. We're smarter than they are, but we're the ones that'll be sitting here in the dark waiting for the rolling blackout to end.
