This is an interim solution until we build a nuclear power system with full fuel recycle. Fossil fuel power plants use a finite, although large, resource. A nuclear fuel system can, with proper use of existing technology, breed more fuel than it uses and thus can be the basis of a perpetual energy supply technology.

Coal the bridge to a nuclear future.

They built the plant in Kansas because of Colorado's much more stringent environmental regulations. The NIMBYS in Colorado didn't want the plant in their backyard so it is forced on Kansas. Also, the transmission losses will be huge over a longer distance to where the demand actually is.
