Yep, and we need to make it at least 75% imo. Technology since the 1950's (when most current plants were designed) has gotten better. There are meltdown proof designs now and alternative fuels like Thorium.

Yes there are 4 under construction and they are all way over budget and way behind schedule and will end up costing 3-4x original estimates.

I'm guessing 90% of that 15% is hydroelectric?

Nuclear us the future for everyone....natural gas is a much better place holder than coal but nuclear is the future.......ain't going to happen in any of our kids lifetimes but when our grand kids are nearing middle age nuclear is going to start ramping up and become main source of electricity for the entire world......
