One of the common mistakes that people make when doing this research is to leave out the refueling cycles - please make sure that you research that as well. (e.g. a nuke plant looks like a bad deal next to a coal or oil plant based on construction costs until you look at total uptime and total cost of the lifetime of fuel.)

Using nuclear power as a transition is great in theory, but its still a logistical hassle. At least as much of a hassle as coordinating other energy projects.

I dont see the point in being alarmist, the lights are not going out.
