    Tide Turning?

    I'm getting the sense that the power generation industry has turned the corner recently, as regards adoption of alternative sources. Or at least is in the process of doing so. Obviously, the writing has been on the wall for a while now, but it seems that they've decided that they've been swimming against the tide and its time to change direction.
    All across the country, utilities are having a hard (very hard?) time getting planning permission for new coal and gas fired plants.
    There is a good chance that by the end of the year the EPA will no longer be an adversary of the environmental lobby, but an adversary of the industry.
    I'm seeing reports every day of big new projects, solar, solar thermal, Geothermal especially.
    Anyone else seeing this? or am I just being overly optimistic.
