It is an extremelly controversial issue, how do you define 'good alternative'? I am inclined to agree with: "It can be a win-win if we do it right"
Here is a resent article that tells me we have to do it right...!
headline: Progress Energy has selected Westinghouse's AP1000 reactor design for a potential new nuclear power plant in Levy County, Florida.
Read full article here
The story concludes: Duke Energy, SCANA and Santee Cooper, and the team of Southern and Georgia Power have selected the AP1000 for possible future expansion of their nuclear capability. It could now be the technology basis for 12 combined Construction and Operating Licence (COL) applications with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
