In the U.S. and also in Vermont, an energy/electricity crisis is slowly building because of increasing demand, conservation measures that are less than fully effective, environmental resistance to new power plants and the increasing price of fossil fuels.
Nuclear energy must be part of the mix, but that remains to be seen in the U.S. can muster the will to build new plants. If the crisis takes hold, it's too late. The fact that a couple of plants using new technology may be built in Alabama and Mississippi is an encouraging sign.
