Why is it you can't handle simple, factual discussions, and veer off into errata and insults whenever a straightforward discussion is attempted? Re: "limp mind you have to many personal problem. you have your own mental waste disposal problems." After this simple, straightforward post: 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. ----------------- Looks like the 'mental problems' are on the other side of the fence... if your ego is so sensitive to any arguments or debate that challenge your points AT ALL!
