So far they have nothing else up their sleeves. Thus the fixation on the mills.

Nothing new under the sun.

"windmills are so much more expensive than nuclear energy than it makes sense only in some very special cases so I do not understand the fixation on them."

There is the believe that they have zero environmental impact. Given that they absorb energy, that can't be true. It very well may be that the impact is pretty small, but the same is true for nuclear when factored over the power generated. That is, as long as somebody doesn't try to do boneheaded experiments on them while in operation...
