[Spridgets] Wind energy again

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

But the nuclear plant is probably more than a couple of thousand times more 
 expensive to start off with. I think you also have to consider the  
de-commissioning cost of the Nuclear power plant.
 
In the UK you can get a wind turbine that will meet the need of a  
household's electric though I guess to be self sufficient you'd want solar  panels 
as well.

It would  take a couple thousand big generators on a stick to power the
same grid as  a small nuclear reactor.
Then the wind would have to blow constantly.
I  wonder how big a big generator on a stick would need to be to power
the  average American home.
As of now, big generators on a stick are not cheap,  either.
