I don't understand the emphasis on energy sources that make electricity, especially nuclear. Growth in demand is slowing particularly since the economy has slowed and may only recover weakly. Nuclear and solar can replace coal but not oil. Why worry about charging electric cars? Who will be able to afford them when Prius sales have dropped 40+%? Can we charge them with surplus generation at 3 am? Will people buy a 32K Japanese electric car or a 40K GM Volt? We need transportation fuels, not nuclear and not even much solar.
