| There is a fundamental flaw with wind power. It is that if at 6:00 pm everyone turns on their kettle to make some tea and there is no wind, there is no power. Storing power is extremely expensive.
Because of this any other arguments seem irrelevant.
Oh and 60MW is very little power.
People talk about nuclear waste the whole time and complain but in the end of the day, uranium comes from the ground. Putting it back there... whats the problem. I have heard of instances of natural nuclear reactors occurring (i think in South Africa...).
Also.. i would imagine that the containment vessel would make the chance of radiation spreading unlikely.
Hydro-electric is actually quite effective...
France uses around 75% nuclear and 25% hydro if im not mistaken. |
