“…Again, I have personally, physically, myself been in solar powered houses that are off the grid.
Again, Smart grid technology is internet technology, we really do have it.
Again, wind turbines really do exist and produce energy, they have been around for a while.
Again, 3rd gen fission plants are not a new technology. They do work, and 4th gen is right around the corner.

LVQ…
We live in a passively heated solar, earth sheltered home and have for almost thirty years.

Alliant Power installed a “smart grid” meter at our home last year and we haven’t seen a meter reader since then.

We are presently constructing an emergency, active solar voltaic, electric, backup supply to compliment our emergency generator.
Our neighbor across the ridge has installed a very large, grid tied, solar and wind system.

Yes.. when fission plants are finally constructed and implemented, nuclear power will become the energy source of choice.
