Just check out last week’s NYTimes piece entitled Nuclear Energy Loses Cost Advantage, which notes:
Solar photovoltaic systems have long been painted as a clean way to generate electricity, but expensive compared with other alternatives to oil, like nuclear power. No longer. In a “historic crossover,” the costs of solar photovoltaic systems have declined to the point where they are lower than the rising projected costs of new nuclear plants, according to a paper published this month.

Not that I’m against solar or anything, but this NYTimes article was wrong in significant ways. This guy explains it pretty well:

Fortunately, providing nuclear power doesn’t involve blowing up mountains either!
