I'm of the end of the boomers and in grade school in the 60s tantalized by atomic power and the space race. Can recall predictions that nuclear power would be so efficient and inexpensive that electricity would be essentially free in the near future.

One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
