But don't be a killjoy. Our entire electric grid is interconnected. I think that all of us bear some of the responsibility for nuclear power use. Transit electrification might prompt better wind and solar power development if the two are connected politically. On the other hand, it might drive demand for nukes.
I think we need to solve carbon issues first, then ramp down nukes.
Electric busses -- quieter, not smelly (on the outside, at least!). What's not to like? An ideal application for the technology.
