Nuclear power has proved to be more costly than was originally thought. Not a lot of new coal fired plants being built in the US -- mostly gas fired CTs or combined cycle units. It's a good choice while supplies last.

There is quite a bit of gvmnt money spent on research into alternatives and there are consortiums. Absent outright subsidies or penalties, the most economic mix of resources is not apt to change that much in the immediate future, unless something happens to the supplies of natural gas.
