Solar wins

Noah Smith posted this the other day - a lengthy essay entitled Long Live the Sun by someone or other, but with lots of figures and easily understood arguments, explaining why solar power (to be vastly expanded and with battery backup) has won over nuclear already and it's not going to change.

A very green techno-optimistic take, but an encouraging one nonetheless. 

Maybe that's why Bill Gates is getting divorced - his wife might have thought he was wasting too much money on advanced nuclear technology that just isn't necessary?
