I think the minimum lag time is 15 years. That is the time it would take to start getting new nuclear facilities on line.

What we are likely to see are economic disruptions before then that will change the equation. We currently are having coal fired power plants being canceled. When the lights start going out the politics of the issue will change radically. At the first sign of trouble there will be a move to more natural gas fired plants.

Buying natural gas producers is a good long term investment theme.

If the length of the lag time is 50, 100, 200, or 300 years then those "hysterical" voices can not be characterized as being "hysterical".

I give up. The longer the lag time, the more ridiculous it is to think there's any hope of holding it off. If the lag time is only ten years, you might hope you could get lucky and give it a try. If the lag time is 300 years, it's insane to throw resources at it.
