What is the 'guaranteed' input cost for oil? What is the actual per kilowatt cost of nuclear generation (if waste disposal costs are factored in, and the never-before-been-done disposal of an end-of-life power reactor and associated structures, and disaster insurance costs and fuel production subsidies are also counted)? Even WITH 50 years of massive government subsidies, nuclear generated electricity is currently not cost-competitive with alternatives... whereas - properly situated - wind power generally is. So, what is your point? Obviously, wind power will never produce meet all of our electric needs, but neither will any other technology (absent the arrival of fusion-generated power). Still, targets of 5% or so of the current US load are considered quite doable for wind.
