Glad to hear that nuclear is not favored by the Committee for Consumer Services. What Utah needs is to steer its energy industry into price stable power sources like wind! In Austin, Texas, residentes there can subscribe to wind power, like Rocky Mountain Power's Blue Sky program, expect in Austin, the customers have their power rates locked in for 10 years! I think Utahns would jump at that opportunity! Early subscribers of wind in Austin are actually paying less for their power than customers who selected the "standard" fossil fuel rate as they've had to "ride" the volatility of the natural gas market. With carbon taxes coming down on Utah's coal-fired power, Utahns are destined to pay a lot more for their power in the coming years... let's hope Utah can diversify its power to include price stable resources. Let's also hope the Committee for Consumer Services takes that into consideration!

We need to look at all options including nuclear. We'd need large amounts of land to build windmill farms, solar farms. While we should likely lower our output of fossil fuel power, we should look at wind, solar and nuclear options to satisfy American's/Utah's insatiable appetite for energy.

"Wind Power is Price Stable?" Now if the wind were only stable and not stop blowing at times of heaviest power demand!
