Topic	World's largest wind farm to be done by 2020, will power 1 million homes

From a marketing standpoint I would assume nuclear hands down, wind has to convert wind to electricity way out in the middle of the ocean, and it is not cheap to move that electricity from all the way out there to the consumer, also there is 0 storage. Nuclear, you can build the plant a lot closer to the consumer, takes up waaaaay less of a footprint, and you can just turn the plant off to store the power. All solid points. Questionmarktarius posted... A couple or three incidents, and the rest of the world freaks out at the mere suggestion of nuclear. It's frustrating but entirely understandable considering the fallout basically results in entire cities being rendered abandoned. The municipalities and companies that failed to upgrade or decommission plants built on old unsafe technology are mainly to blame though. Those incidents are definitely not even remotely accurate when it comes to assessing the safety of modern nuclear power plants. I'm not sure how France managed to shift public opinion on it either. Anyways anything is better than coal. Don't want to derail --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:927928183] in World's la...
