More nuke plants now.
I was going to post the same thing. Much to the envirowhackos dismay, increased power usage is going to influence many Americans to rethink their position on nuclear power. When it comes down to "turn off your tv or build a nuke plant" you can bet Americans will decide that maybe safe, clean, cheap nuclear energy isn't such a bad idea after all.
The tree-sitters will wail and gnash their calcium-deficient rotten teeth as this mindset takes hold.
You are absolutely right. The anti nuc, head-in-the-sand, crowd has done this country a great disservice. WE need to start now with a standard nuc plant design that can be built without wasting years getting permits. If the hydrogen auto ever becomes a reality, we will need lots of electricity to produce hydrogen. I want enough electricity to run my air conditioner, my TV, and produce enough hydrogen for my auto. And I want it to be affordable.
