The same rules, regulations, lawsuits, and activism that has been brought against nuclear power and fossil fuels is now making it harder to build and deploy wind and solar. That factor alone makes these forecasts doubtful. The chart showing solar dominating fails to acknowledge the intrinsic limitations of "ground-based" solar and the need for backup sources.
I'm hoping the current campaign to prevent the renewal of the NRC's chief succeeds. Without someone less anti-nuclear in that position, it's going to be hard to make progress.
