Less than the same wattage in windmills, and it’ll be up 24/7 which windmills won’t, and you can put it in parts of the country that don’t get useful wind for windmills, and it will take significantly less space. Nuke plants are better in every possible way.

Nukes are less good in that there is not an infinite supply of fuel, less than one might expect actually, and the spent fuel must be safeguarded from all threats for....how many thousand years? It turns out that people don't like them and will protest their construction. It isn't even clear how much it would cost to build one today.
