You’re the one that was saying they can supply all our needs, I was pointing out that you’re wrong. It’s nothing in some places because the climate in those places just isn’t conducive to wind power.

Actually nukes CAN supply all our energy for quite a while.

So with wind you have to run transmission lines long distances and over build by quite a big factor to provide the theoretical and mystical ALL of our power. With nukes you have to.....overbuild and run transmission lines long distances. Since demand fluxuates you have to throttle nukes on and off, which they HATE, thus greatly increasing the cost per kwhr. Same exact problem as trying to provided ALL of our power with wind.
