Sounds like a brilliant idea to me... If the American Sheeple can pull their
heads out of big oils ass and Baaaaaaa for it...
Just out of curiousity, and sort of playing devils advocate here, has anyone
got figures for a reasonable cost of building a nuke power plant and how
much electricity it would produce? I want to compare that with the number of
distributed PV systems that would pay for.
Yes, I understand the power goes off at night with PV but it would be
interesting to get an idea of the relative costs and capacities.
Also, how much of a different in demand is there from day to night? I assume
the demand really comes down after 10pm, but I think it might be pretty low
after 6pm except for hot summer days.
E.g. Build 1 nuke and 1 nukes WORTH of PV systems rather than 2 nukes. Add
light rail, bring back the mom and pop corner stores in walk-able
neighborhoods and then tell the Saudis where to stick it.

Why is it that we don't site nuclear power plants inside military bases?
It would seem to afford pretty good security for very little
additional investment, and I'm also wondering why we don't have the
military running them.
If we followed the French model, and built one design instead of
designing each one differently, then we could gain significant
advantages.
If the military runs them, then we can be assured that the sensitive
bits are in safe hands through the whole process.
In the end, the waste has to be disposed of, but that's a fairly small
problem, and one that's pretty well understood.
Alternatively, we can continue buying foreign oil and fueling the
problems over there, or burning natural gas and coal which both
release significant pollutants and radioactives into the air, as well
as whatever CO2 burden is associated.
