Despite what people say about renewables, nuclear is the way to go. Solar and wind replace and destroy the environment they are meant to save. I for one do not want nature replaced by solar and wind farms. Nuclear is by far the safest energy source with the smallest carbon footprint(yes less than solar and wind) and it is also has the smallest geographic footprint along with the highest energy density. Nuclear, geothermal, hydroelectric, with some solar to handle the daytime energy demands around air conditioning and industrial needs with a few natural gas stations to stabilize the grid and handle emergency conditions is the best solution to the energy problem today. It may not be perfect but until other technologies mature it's the way to go. Palo verde is a safe place and provides needed power to the whole southwest region.
