I don't believe nuclear power is the answer to the country's power needs, but I think it needs to be a part of the answer that includes wind, solar, wave, natural gas, coal and whatever else they come up with. Wind and solar are not the complete answer, we just don't have enough land to make it work. Too bad hurricanes keep us from putting them on the gulf coast.

We're going to have to rely on large turbine power plants for the majority of our needs in the foreseeable future and it seems smart to spread that over nuclear, natural gas, and coal to hedge our bets. It’s not all gloom and doom since most of the old, dirty, inefficient fossil units running today will be phased out as new cleaner and more efficient plants come online, just like what happens with cars.
