There's a limited number of spots to stick a nuclear reactor. So it's hard to actually scale that up.

  Of the many strikes against nuclear power, a paucity of siting locations is almost certainly well down the list. Something I say as no particular fan (though also not a doctrinaire opponent) of nuclear power. The fact that scaling nuclear beyond its present contribution would require vast numbers of plants, many in politically (and otherwise) unstable regions, is a much larger concern in my book. We're committing to decades to millennia of addressing consequences in regions where stability is often measured in years, sometimes months.
