Nukes off the table, but what about more Renewables?

No surprise that Nuclear 1 is off the table for now – just too expensive, and too long to build. But still our focus is on coal – expensive to the climate, and expensive to supply in the near future when, like oil, it starts to run short... Independent Power Producers are supposed to supply 14 GW by 2017, but it is likely that very little of this will be Renewables.
