The need to electrify the economy has more to do with peak fossil fuel or level of CO2 in atmosphere, than nuclear.

Comparing nuclear and wind is a bit apples and oranges. One is intermetent and one is not. The lifespans are different too, as nuclear usually last 60 to 80 years, when wind farm is 30 years. As mentioned in the article the cost of nuclear is artificially inflated, like for redundant safety measures, and specifically in UK by the financing used (most of the cost come from interest).

We need to build cheaper and more nuclear power plants, and more wind farms too.
