I gave an interview on the future of powering the world a couple weeks ago. Today it was published. Check it out at my Scribd page to get an idea of how I feel about nuclear power in the near term, the future of the grid, clean coal and whether solar alone can power America into the 21st and into the 22nd century.

An excerpt, on hydroelectric power’s role in our future…

The Hoover Dam will generate power as long as the Colorado flows. But you won’t see much in the way of new dams here. Still, there’s a good bit of potential for hydroelectric development outside the developed world. hydroelectricity provides a whole lot of zero-emission power. Three Gorges, for instance, can power 3% of China when it’s running at full capacity. That’s 40 million people. It’s an exceptional case considering the size of the project, but you can’t deny the electricity generating potential provided by flowing water. Obviously there are serious ecological concerns with hydroelectric power, but I would never say this or any zero-emission process has no future.
