http://ThoriumRemix.com/ If AP1000's costs can be controlled enough to compete with coal plants, then coal will get cheaper. Successfully reducing our dependence on fossil fuel will result in a glut of cheap coal, oil and natural gas. We need more than borderline competitiveness to keep people from burning those cheaper and cheaper sources of dirty energy.
Nuclear power plants are capable of much more than producing marginally competitive baseload electricity. 
So what can they do? Let's return to first principles, and then re-examine what it is the human race needs in order to thrive- with minimal impact on our environment.
