Environuts either don't care if we live in the stone-age, or are ignorant of the fact that if you have a problem with every single man-made thing, then you don't get electricity. Fortunately, the nuts are the minority of people, but they can still cause a lot of disruption and expense to complete projects.
I'm a humanist; all other factors are secondary and should serve the human interest.
Short term I see nuke floundering, but long term I think it will be the dominant electricity source. People will forget the 3 nuke accidents and technology will improve. Waste is a non-issue because storing it isn't a problem, and it's potentially useful as fuel again.
Wind is cheaper than solar, so I expect that to have greater gains outside of CA.
