Lets face if every house han one panel it could reduce the overall demand by approximately one tenth ,therefore, elliminating the need for big money to harness and sell more energy. In my opinion Ft Collins should not support nuclear energy! I believe the reason for grid tie photo voltaic solar panels would be to reduce the demand for future coal and nuclear power plants.

and if u don’t get a representitives here in Egypt how can be one for u ?

Uranium mining leaves a huge carbon footprint. The processing and enhancing use fossil fuels--and what about trucking the waste to Nevada??? Sharon–you have not completed your research.

I'm not a huge fan of Solar thermal because of the massive amount of land it takes up, but I think you're on target with regards to the solution being "none of the above"... I think efficiency is far more important (and better for the economy) than anything else. Provide simpe incentives for better insulated homes and CFLs, heck even pay for the CFLs, and you'll spend a lot less money than building a new powerplant and avoid the need to build one at the same time.
