until nuclear is added to the mix there is no conversation to be discussed IMO. I have a friend that works in the electrical grid field. he sees that the trend is now to install small local power generating plants in areas needing more power (that run on fossil fuel)- these plants charge battery banks that store power for peaks. These battery banks are large buildings with batteries and inverters. medium term goal is to have them charged by wind and solar as weather permits. Then eventually, small nuclear plants get accepted and make the additional electricity that is needed. still a place for natural gas, oil and clean coal... all of the above + free choice + free market is where we should be.
