42. Even if that were true in the US (which it isn't) we are only one of many countries.

You still haven't explain how/why public non-profit utilities want to chose the more expensive form of power.

Still we will build a dozen reactors in the US. If they don't cost taxpayers anything will you admit your wrong? Don't worry you don't need to answer I know you won't.

Still even if nuclear energy doesn't expand in the US it is expanding overseas.
China broke ground on YET ANOTHER nuclear reactor today (less than 3 months after starting work on the last reactor).
24 reactors under construction now with average time remaining of about 3 years. A new reactor in China will go online about once every 3 months.
70GW by 2020. 250GW by 2030. Remember you need to adjust for capacity factor so that is more like 200 - 300 GW of wind by 2020 and 700 - 1000 GW of wind by 2030.


Are those also "falsified claims"? How many reactor starts in China before you admit your wrong? 10 more? 20 more? 50 more?
