Interesting Interview with Energy Industry Veteran

Here's my favorite quote from the interview from S. David Freeman, "Big solar and wind backed up by natural gas is a safer, cheaper alternative for society." Word.

And if you read some of the comments below the interview there is a lively discussion about nuclear power. For the nuclear supporters out there I have two questions: 1) Would you allow them to build a plant in your backyard? and 2) Nuclear plants take a lot of fresh water to cool them. What happens when a drought plagues the area where a nuclear power plant is located?

I am not opposed to nuclear but so far for myself, the cons outweigh the pros.
