I don’t think any building of nuclear power plants is going to happen until more people find out what the greens are doing to drive up the cost of electricity.

And even then won’t do anything about it if possible until it bites us all in the wallet.

Loan guarantees from the bank not the government/taxpayers. Nuclear is an efficient all around way to go.

This position misses the fact that the total cost to build a nuclear plant will be somewhere between 25 to 50% of the total capitalization of even the largest utilities. They cannot get loans this size, and will not bet their companies on new nuclear construction. The market will not work in this case. Loan guarantees will draw investment into new nuclear construction, and it will actually happen.

Disagree,

The point of this blog post is exactly that. You’re right, companies may not want to go all in on nuclear, especially given what happened in the past where some of these companies lost a lot of money. But they still recognize the potential profit and are thus organizing to mitigate these risks - so they can split the risk privately instead of relying on the government. (see above quote)

Coal is the only truly secure energy source we have here in the U.S.A. and should be an energy source to save for that purpose and not consume it or we lose that security. anti energy activist are reeking havoc upon our electric energy supplier’s and our electricity supply grid and unfortunately the goal of these very powerfull envirogreensociolist league is to drive up the cost of electricity. With friends like these now soon in power in upper levels of government who needs enemies

In order to save our coal we in reality must build nuclear power or we are all going to pay the piper much sooner as in oil cheap coal will end also. We need to stop exporting coal [ except for humanitarian purposes etc, ] As I said I agree NG, should be kept as a portfolio percentage of our overall energy supply according to it’s risk factor. NG is a major energy source for critical heat on the northern tier of the U.S. in the winter months. NG should NOT be used to produce electricity.

Transportation, where possible mainly auto must go electric,

Everybody wants clean air and no pollution energy supply, you can’t have your cake and eat it to, the byproducts of energy production is waste some usefull some not, my choice is nuclear to replace and save the coal and NG and oil.

IF you agree with me on these points, when you get a chance pass them along to the right people. Thanks, Thomas Gray.

This is no less true for any president, what is wrong with the goals of our soon to be president Mr Obama is these goals are being dictated from unelected wealthy minority’s and the goals[[[[[[[ will not[[[[[[[ maintain the well being of the majority.
If I have to eat dog food to free up enough money to pay my electricity bill every month among others that are CRITICAL that I not die from exposure to cold, here's some reality
electricity generated from wind and solar cannot keep me alive becouse it will be unaffordable electricity, but the attacks against our electric power supplies and resources by those planning to install solar and wind are not only [ on going ] but succeeding to drive up the cost of electricity that is necessary to advance their plan for themselves.
Those that hate Americans must be smiling that we elected a president that ran on a campaign of raising the cost of living.
