8. You can acheive quite a bit with designing in more efficiency in buildings
and electrical appliances and you also can build wind power capacity faster than you can build nuclear plants. And wind power is far cheaper than nuclear. Actually, wind power is the cheapest technology available for the generation of electric power. And of course there is no CO2 emmissions or toxic waste to take care of for 14,000 years.
