Heh. I say let the free market decide! That'll surely result in no plants at all getting built (at best some gas plants), and then we'll get an actual phyisical lack of power, rolling blackouts and enormous price spikes which create "incentives" to build new plants, which will come online 5-10 years after the disaster strikes, while in the meantime rolling blackouts remain and all power-intensive industry is forced out of the country. :)

Markets yay, planning boo!!!11

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
