I would be inclined to agree, however even I, the S-delta, think there is no time for that.  We need power sources here, more, now.  The good news is that the US House of Reps has passed a bill that fast-tracks a bunch of new energy projects by slicing thru a lot of the red tape.  The bill should have clear sailing from here on up to law.
