Out With Windmills – In With Nuclear

Britain buckles down to real energy. The UK will change out an established wind farm for a new nuclear power plant. This rational move will boost an anemic average of 1.3 MW of zero emissions wind generated power to a robust average of 1300 GW of zero emissions nuclear power. The manufacturer of wind turbines will be cutting jobs, blaming the government for failing to support the sector.

Britain has learned the hard way that their headlong green rush into medieval technology has been wasteful and foolish. They spent time and money trying to force a technology to do what it simply can’t do.

Pouring money into "green" jobs does not give us much bang for the buck. New nuclear power plants would give us a viable supplement to the coal and oil technologies providing much of today's energy if we would but employ it. Floy Lilley tilts at windmills and makes the case for going nuclear in this brief essay.
