Do you have data? Because there is enough wind potential alone in the US to satisfy the US power requirements 10x over.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;energy.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;prod&#x2F;files&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;f22&#x2F;Enabling%20Wind%20Power%20Nationwide_18MAY2015_FINAL.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;energy.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;prod&#x2F;files&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;f22&#x2F;Enabling%20Wi...</a><p>&gt; You&#x27;re very wrong here. China in particular is investing heavily in nuclear going forward, including thorium. There are a number of companies here in the US, such as Flibe Energy and Thorcon that are working hard on next-gen nuclear solutions.<p>While China continues to build a handful of nuclear plants, their wind generation capacity is already far ahead of what they&#x27;re producing from nuclear:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.earth-policy.org&#x2F;data_highlights&#x2F;2015&#x2F;highlights50" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.earth-policy.org&#x2F;data_highlights&#x2F;2015&#x2F;highlights5...</a><p>&gt; On a level playing field, wind in particular can&#x27;t compete.<p>Wind is already cheaper than nuclear without subsidies in the USA and the UK. It also kills less birds and bats than buildings, cell towers, and cats.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ewea.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2013&#x2F;03&#x2F;us-wind-energy-is-now-more-economic-than-nuclear-power-bloomberg&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ewea.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2013&#x2F;03&#x2F;us-wind-energy-is-now-more-...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cleantechnica.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;04&#x2F;wind-solar-substantially-cheaper-than-nuclear-in-uk&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cleantechnica.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;04&#x2F;wind-solar-substantially...</a><p>You mention next-gen nuclear tech will come in at 5 cents&#x2F;kwh.
