A wind turbine doesn't spin 24/7. You'd need a Wind Turbine + a very large battery. The waste heat from a mini nuke is also perfect for district heating.

- imtringued 5y agoNuclear is perfect for district heating. Thermal power plants have poor efficiency because of the need to convert thermal energy into electricity. You basically get a whole load of waste heat. If you do need the waste heat then you can't beat thermal power plants.
