Reality is stubborn. But development of alternatives should continue on the fast track so they'll be ready when they are needed. The end result will probably be a mix. No single source can solve all the problems.

Seriously, NO. There are better ways to put a better face on nuclear.

Not much to report I'm afraid - only two or three very small groups sitting on the grass eating sandwiches. Hardly distinguishable from the usual office workers eating there. No banners in support of nuclear power.
