Go nukes? Can we nuke our way out of peak oil?
  • It was about economics

    I think a closer review of history will show that utilities abandoned nuclear power in the 1980s because people like Amory Lovins were able to convince them that it was simply too expensive. Natural gas and coal are a lot cheaper.

    Today I bet if you run the numbers, you'll find wind generation is actually cheaper than nuclear power plants.
