Interesting article on proposed energy policies.

Solar, wind, 4th gen breeder reactors and even reduced emissions conventional power generation all have a place in future energy production. I like solar thermal myself. Heat is easier to store than electricity. The Hualapai Valley Solar Project is a planned 340 MW parabolic trough power plant to be built near Kingman, AZ. It will produce the equivalent output of more than 2 large nuclear reactors when completed. The estimated cost to build a two reactor nuclear plant is about $17 billion. It has been estimated that the Hualapai Valley plant is going to cost about $2 billion to build. Plus operations at the solar facility are going to cost a fraction of what it would to operate a similar sized nuclear facility.
