> Why not? Wind is a ~50% cheaper source of energy per kWh than nuclear. That's an illusory number. Wind requires backup power, or lots of storage. Wind turbines have a ~20 year lifespan, compared with ~60 years for coal/nuclear plants. Once the safety and economies of mass-produced Gen IV SMRs are accounted for, nuclear is MUCH cheaper than wind. What would be really bad would be the first time thousands of people die when the wind/solar powered grid goes down during a cold snap. |
