It's a game Neo-conservatives like to play... it goes something like this. "Hey guys we don't have enough nuclear power plants! We only have like 100 (not the real number) We need like... 10 more!"
"Ah.... ok? Lots of work out there in just building the 26 or so nuclear power plants we're supposed to be making. We could still use more though. Well that and every time the enviromental policies change they have to pay people to come in and redsign freaking everything. So even if Obama wanted them to go ahead they'd probably have to redesign everything sicne his enviromental polcies will thankfully be better. Which he probably won't. So those spots will probably just sit barren for another 8 years or so.

Its not just environmental policy that slows the building of Nuclear Power Plants, its building in general. 20 - 30 yrs is the quote to start fresh and build 10 Plants in Australia. Well in 20 - 30 yrs time it will most likely be too late, we need to start upscaling, and lowering unit prices, on renewable technology that can go anywhere, on any roof, in any city. And we can start all this now, listen to T Boone Pickens or the former head of Sun Microsystems. They are all putting cash into renewables, please pay attention.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
