The 1970s: When you have cheap coal and gas it would be financially stupid to invest in nuclear. Which is why most countries never did.

Today: when a single nuclear powerplant is estimated at 20 billion you calculate how many windmills you can build for that money. Ironically wind power is now the proven technology.

Windpower is shit, and it's on the way out. It's also polluting in all kinds of ways (visually and materially).
