That’s why I have little doubt that if we can move beyond the uninformed platitudes of people like McCain and ever really get serious about global warming and peak oil, then the realistic, affordable solution is at hand — namely energy efficiency to avoid significant load growth, concentrated solar power to replace most coal, and wind power for plug-in charging. And yes, we’ll still have some hydro and nukes and combined cycle natural gas turbines and/or cogen in 2050, and possibly even some coal with carbon capture and storage, assuming that industry ever gets serious about that possible solution.

Interesting concluding paragraph. A mix. Hmmm.

The headline of the article is false.

McCain isn't calling for 700 new nuclear power plants, or any number of new power plants. "The French are able to generate 80% of their electricity with nuclear power", doesn't equal "McCain calls for 700+ new power plants, even if it will actually require that many to generate 80% of our electricity needs from nuclear plants.
