I'm all for keeping the existing nuke reactors so long as they are in sufficient working order and safe enough. I'd probably be for new reactors if it could be shown that it can deliver power at competitive prices over the service lifetime, and that there is a plan for managing the waste.

I just peeked over at GOOGLE and they mentioned that warmer winters,reduced use of coal-fired power plants,and strong growth in renewable and hydro power were the driver for lower carbon emissions (Scientific American)
