> We're not replacing coal power stations. It isn't an "upgrade" away. Our energy demand is increasing so any new stations supplement rather than replace existing power stations.

Ontario, Canada (where I live) shut down its last coal plant in 2014 and our nighttime electricity costs US$0.0669 per kWh.

We did it by not being irrational wimps about Nuclear.
