No subsidy, no matter the size, will ever make wind-generated electricity a viable source of energy for anything other than a niche application.

The mechanisms are much too complex and the source much too unreliable for consistent outcome.

Go nuclear. But not with the huge custom-built reactors of the 1960s, but with newer, much more compact, and far safer reactor units, which may be built on an assembly-line basis, and shipped for setup on the sites via rail and semi-trailer trucks.

I 100% agree. Now what will happen to all that investment in the Cervantes inspired wind machines and solar powered bird killers?

Amen..... you are absolutely correct

I am absolutely convinced that somewhere in a guarded facility that is part of the extensive Elon Musk corporate domain, the completed plans and probably actual pilot test results, for the facility you note actually exist.

When the timing is right, plans and sites will be revealed and the small nuke plants can be constructed in short order.
