"Cheap" nuclear power a myth, suggests economist
A better headline (and story) would be "Cheap Renewables a Myth" For those who think the world can be powered by wind and solar, turn off your lights for 16 hours each day and see how that works for you. Wind capacity is about 33% at best, solar even lower. San Onofre was a tremendous energy resource for California - safe, reliable and inexpensive. Plus it employed a lot of people in jobs that California should have fought to keep. The statements made on this thread show that people interested in this topic are extremely ignorant, making them easily dismissible. "SONGS nearly blew up." That is one of the stupidest statements ever made. And apparently if you post a bunch of links, that somehow proves your point. Someone must have skipped Middle School debating club. Back in the day, these anti-nukes would have been the same people telling us not to sail out too far from shore or we would drop off the edge of the world.— January 4, 2014 8:32 a.m.
