Why wait for next gen nuclear?

I will eat my words if in a few days South Texas Nuclear generating station melts down (because its being hit by a category 4 hurricane as I type this).. But right now the technology we _HAVE_ is sufficiently safe.

But not sufficiently cheap, compared to alternatives.

Fossil fuels are cheaper than nuclear only if you treat the (huge) environmental effects as costing nothing.
