3. Two of my least favorite organizations are commenting on the situation.

The "Union of Concerned 'Scientists'" is a rote antinuclear organization, and the so called "Natural Resources Defense Council" has never seen a wilderness it didn't want to convert into an industrial park for wind and/or solar industrial plants.

As for power lines, hooking up redundant power plants to leave the lights on when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining requires a lot of copper.

We do need more power on the PJM grid that is both reliable and clean. There is only one form of energy that fits the bill, the one to which the "Union of Concerned 'Scientists'" has knee-jerk and specious objections, nuclear power.

We need to replace the Oyster Creek nuclear reactor in New Jersey and build a few more beyond that.
