Don't you see the irony of the current drive for alternatives that has the same stumbling blocks of the past? As alternative energy gets its legs (thanks to the correct political climate) and the climate change begins in earnest to affect the farm lands and other climate disasters (thinking of the lack of water here) the need for that nuclear energy is going to be needed just to provide the power needed to convert sea water to fresh for the west.
Sounds far fetched but the actions needed must be today and not when the monster is upon us. Water is becoming more and more a factor and the need to product it greater then ever.
We'll never see the answer but we can begin to realize the problem.

These people touting alternative energy obviously haven't checked other countries that have tried this path. What do you when the wind doesn't blow, or is cloudy for many days? So far it has been an expensive boondoggle for the taxpayers.

I would respectfully disagree. Yes there have been some disappointments and a learning curve but more than a few European countries are well on their way to producing 100 percent of their power from renewable resources by 2050 and a few others by 2060. Not too far away. Energy production and high speed transit are definitely not our fortées.
