This is good news. Nuclear is the source of choice if we are serious about meeting America's demand for electricity.
"NRG Energy's application seeks permission to build two new reactors beside two existing reactors at the South Texas Project nuclear-power station, in Bay City, TX, adding 2,700 megawatts of capacity capable of powering about two million homes. NRG hopes to begin construction in 2010 and to be operating the reactors by 2015, assuming there are no significant regulatory or construction delays."
Compare this to Vermont's 'whistling in the wind' projects: Some experts believe that 20% of power demand, or 200 MW of utility scale wind projects, could be Vermont's potential. This Texas nuke proposal will produce 13.5 times that amount of baseload, dispatchable power.
