Lets just say if the tech is new, I'm cautiously optimistic--see the many articles about the Natrium first plant in Wyoming, or the many presentations from Bill Gates:

OTOH, I'm relieved that activists finally pushed the NY state government in Albany hard enough to keep the new owners from continuing their end run around the EOL requirements at Indian Point.
