  • Is this why you are falsifying information on these so called "My Home Energy Report"?

  • @joskemom We do not have enough nuclear fuel to run the amount of PP's needed to replace our Coal fired PP's. The WORLD"S current uranium reserve is something like 70 years worth.Coal accompanied by CCS is the way of the future with smart grid and appliance communicative technologies. The DOE already acknolwedge's this and outlines it in many new publications on behalf of the NETL. Nuclear is no longer a viable option for tommorrow's power needs as tree hugger's once thought.

  • Yes! The way of the future!

  • Sounds like a lot of 'pie in the sky' concepts. i am not looking forward to talking with my power company. The way they are going to make us reduce energy is to charge us more during certain 'power peak times'. Nuclear power plants dont have to worry about wind, sunlight, and 'dying planet' scenarios.
