Yup meanwhile down the road from me sits a nuclear plant build in the 70's witch takes up less space and produces 3 gigawatts of power. <br><br>Solar and wind are scams. Nuclear is the only way forward. You have no idea how much energy is wasted turning a coal plant on and off. It's very inefficient and it's wastes massive amounts of energy. Same with turning a car off at a stoplight. Turning devices on and off require large amounts of energy. Hence why many railroads opt to leave their locos idling for days rather than turn them off. Yeah yeah Scott you cool n all with your little expensive wind farm. But take it from an engineer, this is a dead end technology. Wind not only kills birds but it creates infrasound that causes insomnia to nearby residents and kills the workers who fall from them.<br><br>In its entire history, electricity generated by nuclear power has killed less than 50 people. That's including Chernobyl, TMI, Fukushima, SL-1, Simi Valley, Windscale (which wasn't even a power plant), etc. I'll comfortably sit on top of a nuclear reactor.,(reply>), The amount of engineers who have absolutely no idea about wind energy facts,is fuckin scary.
