Japan quakes

[saaya]

Reactors 5 and 6 are still operating.
I thought the newer reactors had a higher power output?

Average wind turbines create around 2mw, so it would take around 500 to replace a single reactor, and around 2000 to replace all of fukushima daiichi (5&6 are daini)

How much does one offshore windmill cost?
It's all about money...


BTW, Wikipedia:
Globally, the long-term technical potential of wind energy is believed to be five times total current global energy production, or 40 times current electricity demand.

So much for the lack of alternatives for nuclear power the atomic industry and lobby is claiming... there's more than enough energy around, its just expensive... short term... long term its the same or cheaper as fission and even coal.
