Every time progressives force politicians to account for the nuclear waste, this increases the cost and risk of building nukes.

Every time a consumer buys an LED light of CFL light, this reduces the justification for another nuke plant.

Every time a windmill or another solar panel goes on the grid, this reduces the justification for more nukes.

Things are definitely in motion. For the first time in history, we are reducing our per capital "dirty" electricity use more than the growth in population.
