Nuclear Power: Sleeping Giant Begins to Stir

Recent articles, like this one today in the Chicago Tribune titled: "After 30 years in exile, nuclear power is back", are indicators that something is up. The mainstream press doesn't seem to understand why nuclear is starting to come back, but it will report the events as they unfold and replay the history each time. This article misses the signifance of the emmissions difference between nuclear and coal plants, isn't aware of the requirement to generate substantially more power in the coming years, and also can't look forward into hydrogen generation because the reporter hasn't yet connected all the dots. But, increasingly, AEman says, they will.
