    That nuclear produces more MW/HR than wind at an exponential rate.

    https://www.ans.org/news/article-1462/wind-power-and-nuclear-power/

    “Capacity factor is the feature highlight of this info-graphic poster. To make a graphic representation of how this compares to one nuclear power plant rated at 1154 megawatts (MW), this shows the full count of all 2077 2-MW wind turbines in a 24"x36” poster. This is what would be required to match the nuclear power plant output even if this array of turbines could hypothetically run continuously at only 25 percent of its rated capacity."

    I’m giving you sources. You can downvote but I don’t see your numbers reflected in any study.

      Okay? I never said anything contrary to that though? So what’s your point?
