The problem with wind is the high cost of installation and maintence per unit of energy. In california nearly 30% of the wind generators are idle at any one time. We need to make the towers damn cheap first. My money is on nuclear, not like what we have now but like the way that europe does it. Small reactors that are standardized making maintence, safety, and regulation simple. Recycling the fuel helps too seriously reduce the amount of high risk waste. Colin Kilbane
