Wind power ranges from 3 cents per KWH for favorably windy areas up to 10 cents per KWH in most areas.

Nuclear power averages at 0.521 cents per Kwh.

That doesn't seem like a fortune in those terms but you'd definitely notice the difference in you monthly energy bill if you power was derived 100% from wind power... and oyu'd have a lot of blackouts.

I'd take one nuclear plant over 1 coal plant and 1500 windmills.

Do you have a source for the .521, because my sources have it higher?
