More nucs is good nucs? British PM thinks so

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has gone nuclear. In fact, eight times he intends to go nuclear according to his latest energy message to the British people. With such leadership it seems likely there'll be some push to get new nuclear plants built there. While there's been a lot of interest in the U.S., no new plants have been approved in decades.

France, of course, has an electrical gird that is largely fed by nuclear plants. In a recent blog I spoke with one energy expert who feels nuclear plants are NOT a viable source for an even larger share of future electricity production because of increasing construction and fuel costs.
