After reading this book I spotted some of the people mentioned in subsequent ‘news’ stories on tv.

We still need practical large scale energy storage in addition to substantial changes to transmission infrastructure. I have not read of any technology that can be constructed so quickly and on such a mass scale. The natural gas boom of the 90s saw a total of 200 GW in about 10 years. Even with efficiency, we would need to replace about 800 GW. I think a 20 year timeframe is doable and that also provides for more options.

As for nuclear, I am waiting for the FTC and BBB to say similar of the PR for natural gas as they talk the clean green script as well. I have always maintained that nuclear is safer and cleaner than fossil fuels while still providing 24/7 power. That is why I advocate its use.
