    It’s not my first choice but if that’s what it takes.

    It is unless you've got a new battery tech patent pending.

    How do you plan to make nuclear price competitive with renewables and natural gas? There's a reason why you never see nukes in an IRP, it's prohibitively expensive with current technology. If you're a nuke advocate then you should also be pushing hard for a carbon price...which I've never seen you do.

    I'm glad you entered the discussion. You and I both know renewables don't work for night time baseload without some other form of battery than we currently have.

    I advocate subsidies for nukes, reducing red tape from the EPA, and using imminent domain around NIMBY-ism (Yuka Mountain). Those would all reduce costs.

    Natural Gas has it's own issues but getting India and China off of coal and onto Natural Gas would probably reduce emissions by more than anything the US could do. Other than what we are currently doing(exporting) I'm not sure what we can do to encourage that though.

    Why are so many Democrats trying to fight this? I thought they were for change?
