More Nuclear Power in MN??

[niterydr]

I think the power grids should move towards nuclear power in replacement of power plants that burn fossil fuel. My company (GE) is on the cutting edge of energy production and management, but it is still very very expensive.

Tom, It is not the billions of dollars in wind turbines that is the expensive part. It is creating the power grid to get to the turbines in the desert that is the expensive part. You can't just "plant" a wind turbine and hope it grows power, these aren't trees we are talking about. Let alone all the maintenance and upkeep requirements.

Solar power=Great where it is sunny.

Nuclear is clean and relatively safe. I think there needs to be more concentration put into where we can store the waste fuel safely and efficiently and more research into renewable energy. At least with more nuclear power there will be hopefully a lower demand on fossil fuel based plants.
