We really need to work on incentives for both nuke and solar... and wind.

Listen.. what I want are incentives to invest in LONG-TERM power generation capacity, which nuclear has proven itself to be (40 years+). I have little, if any, confidence in the long-term reliability/availability of either wind or solar. I fear that wind turbines might have to be completely replaced after only 10-20 years and probably 20-30 years for solar.

And of course, as I've often discussed, neither wind or solar are BASELINE power.
