Of course that does make sense. To build a wind mill and to distribute the costs is a totally different kind of economic endeavor than to build and finance a nuclear power plant, which can only be profitable with state subventions anyway.
- Turing_Machine 11y agoWhich grid-scale wind or solar projects are profitable without being subsidized by the government? I'm not aware of any.

- onli 11y agoWanted to make the point that you don't have to have grid-scale projects if you distribute it. One windmill at a time, each with its own financement, investors and profitability. I admit that was not clear.
- Turing_Machine 11y agoVirtually all solar and wind projects of any significant size are heavily subsidized by the federal, state, or local government. I am unaware of any exceptions to this.
