    Meh I’m sure nuclear could or would have it’s place, I just don’t know if anyone wants to take the risk now since the earthquake in Japan

      The earthquake has very little to do with the lack of new nuclear power plants. They simply cost too much, take too long to come online and take too long to turn a profit to be seen as viable, when renewables are already cheaper and less risky and are set to become even less expensive, all the while storage capacity becomes cheaper too.
