With average electricity demand rising annually at 1.5 % -2 % and peak demand rising at around double that rate in some sections of the country (and remember that majority of the generating and T&D capacity is dedicated to meeting peak demand for a few hours each year)... we need to approach the electricity issue not only by considering the generating side of the equation but careful consideration of the rest of the pieces as well.

And again, my position is that (1) nuclear power is not needed, since we can get all the electricity we need, and more, from renewables; (2) nuclear can not possibly be expanded enough, quickly enough to have any significant impact on reducing GHG emissions in the time frame that's needed, while renewables can be (and already are); and (3) resources invested in expanding nuclear power would be far more effectively invested in renewables and / or efficiency, and the opportunity costs of nuclear therefore mean that putting resources into nuclear power hinders rather than helps the effort to quickly reduce CO2 emissions from generating electricity.
