Good on you! Thanks for good site and lets all hold thumbs for Volt... Lyle, so you used my tip after all! Good on you! Thanks for good site and lets all hold thumbs for Volt…

So there is a limit to the amount of wind generated power that power companies can purchase cost effectively & still meet their legal requirements to provide proven energy sources for the grid. This fact will not go away at night as load is load day or night. With the advent of SMART meters, eventually one may be able to buy just wind power and if it isn't available, their lights go off but I don't think there will be many signing up for that program. B2G may help but battery cost is not low enough to justify purchase merely to store wind power for B2G. The power market can only rely on guaranteed power & wind is not it, but NUCs are. Minimal carbon footprint (mining,processing & delivering Uranium to plants), Safe on-site storage. New designs that are more efficient & safer. TMI is old news get over it! We did not ban Petroleum refineries because of fires there did we? If we cannot learn from our mistakes and venture out & continue to strive for technological break throughs we should have given up the space program after the first crew fried & died on the pad. We need Nucs like we need the Volt, energy independance & reduction in green house gases. If you think people are ignorant about Series hybrid technology, there is no name for the lack of understanding about modern Nuclear plant processes ,design & built in safety features.
