Brian,

I'm with you on the dangers of nuclear plants.  So far, there exists no
evidence that they are dangerous.  They are, however, ridiculously
expensive to operate primarily because it is prohibitively expensive to
get rid of nuclear waste.  As early as 1992, The Economist had articles
detailing how much more economical gas generation and "clean" coal
plants are than nuclear plants.  

And, that's the technology that ought to be employed here.  We CAN build
gas or coal powered plants without violating existing clean air
regulations.
