So, an offshore windfarm for 3gw costs 30bn more or less
According to some googling reactors cost 5bn plus for construction only, and the biggest reactors product 1gw, so offshore windparks cost twice as much as nuclear reactors, are 100% safe while nuclear reactors will NEVER be 100% safe, and that's not taking into account operational costs and fuel costs...

So yeah, we need nuclear! There's no way around it! There just aren't any alternatives...

With wind energy you need a decentralised power grid as well. Currently around the world the grid is centralised at the power plants. This means heavy investment is necessary in order to substitute big ass plants with many comparably small wind turbines.

Furthermore, since the amount of energy generated from wind turbines fluctuates, you need pumped-storage plants to have the energy available whenever needed.

Hell, I want nuclear energy gone asap, but it's not as easy as you might think.
