From the Morning Call:
The good news for energy reliability is that wind and solar are stealing the show.Recently, the North American Electrical Reliability Corp. testified to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that over the next 10 years, 260,000 megawatts of new nameplate electrical capacity will be added. A whopping 96 percent of that will come from wind and solar. The NRC was told it might have to back down some nuclear plants during off-peak loads because of new wind-powered generation.The claim by former NRC Commissioner Forrest J. Remick that nuclear power is ''the most cost-effective way to boost capacity while meeting climate change goals'' is hardly the truth (March 22 Your View).
