Wind farms have relativley little space efficiency, produce little power, and cost a fortune to contruct in comparison to nuclear power plants. One windmill takes about 40'x40' suare of land and is about 30 feet deep filled with concrete and steel.

That 40 x 40 pays a farmer a lot more than 40 x 40 feet of corn without harming the productivity of the other 100 acres of the farmers land. So where is the problem? The cost per kwhr between wind and nuke is getting closer and closer. Do you have any ideas on how much the two are becasue the term "fortune" is a bit vague?
