Nuclear Power’s Scorned Small-Scale Competitors Are Walloping It in the Marketplace (PDF-100k)
Lovins Debunks the Notion That Nuclear Energy is the Best Investment Against Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Global Climate Change
Snowmass, Colorado, June 20, 2005 — Rocky Mountain Institute researchers today doused the hype about “nuclear revival” in an icy bath of real-world data. They documented that worldwide, the decentralized, low- or no-carbon sources of electricity — cogeneration and renewables, all claimed by nuclear advocates to be too small and too slow to help much with climate change — are already bigger than nuclear power and are quickly leaving it in the dust.
The research you site is incomplete and very misleading. To see why, follow the link:

As is the research that you site [sic]; RMI was covering the global situation. NEI’s blog entry was only about the US. And frankly, I don’t give a toss about the US’s energy policy; it’s way out of line with reality.
And you would say that, posting from nei.org, being “the policy organization of the nuclear energy and technologies industry” …
Hear, hear! (Or here, here if you like).
Let’s hope this ‘revival’ is short-lived. You can’t argue with the facts.
