I have evolved from a knee-jerk nuclear power plant opponent to a pragmatic 
questioner: what better viable solution do you propose?

I don't have the latest stats, but the last time I read about nuclear 
France, it was generating about eighty percent of its electricity with 
nuclear power. Other European countries were having to cut back on use 
while France had a surplus. And unless something has happened that I 
missed, the French nuclear safety record is intact.
