Nuclear is mostly dead but it has little to do with Japan
May 27, 2011
Nuclear Power is Dead - Parts 1 & 2 | www.energycentral.com
The costs for new nuclear plant construction were non-economic well before TEPCO's Fukushima disaster. Clearly most new USA generation will be gas fired combined cycle turbines. Renewables continue improve economically. However, they will only be niche contributors do to poor capacity factors and ancillary infrastructure costs (ie; transmission and back up power). ERCOT Texas will be an interesting early test of these dynamics.

Nuclear Power will Not Contribute to Supply – Japan No Impact
March 14, 2011
Japan nuclear fears lift solar stocks | money.cnn.com
Hopes for nuclear power to contribute to USA thirsts for noncarbon based baseload power where quietly dead on arrival well before the Japanese earthquake and related nuclear problems. The two reasons are current construction costs of $8000 to $10,000 per kW are uneconomic and no viable alternative for waste fuel disposal. Current enthusiasm for renewables, in light of this disaster, would be better placed on natural gas related power supply.

The Time is Ripe for Demand Side Management
August 13, 2007
Is there green in 'misfit' technologies? | www.nytimes.com
The USA power industry has entered an era of significant technology change involving retail uses of electricity. These will delay the need for some expensive peaking generation plants and transmission wires. The economic advantages of derregulated regions (northeast & Texas) will become most evident as they avoid costly new infrastructure (power plants & transmission) by allowing those causing peak demand to be charged a greater share of those costs. Those locations and time-of-use demands will invest in new technologies that enable them to avoid cosstly use during peak periods. These economic signals and savings will be more muted in regions where retail consumers are still captive to single source energy monopolies (the west, midwest and southeast).
