Go Nuclear!

The US currently gets about 40% of electricity from coal and les than 20% from Nuclear.

If the carbon/gas tax would be used to swap those % then maybe. But the current politics have prevented new Power plant construction so I don't hold my breath.

What if we could give away electricity for almost free? Electric cars and bikes would take over. The question becomes how to we pay for it and will big Oil/coal have too much power to allow it.
