turnkey by the late 70s to mid eighties, only to have the door closed
by the gas pipeline companies, and the electric power companies that
had a glut of newly constructed coal and nuclear plants.

This just goes to prove has never been a united front. We also did
not have peak oil or the international problems to the extent we do
now. Further, anyone pointing to the problems of global warming in
the 70's would have been branded a lunatic. Based on the State of
the Union address, there is now a chance, just a chance, things will
change. The election year coming up will probably largely decide.
