To give some sense of scale, think about the portable atomic pile in the book Martian. It produces 2 kW for 20 years. Only problem is some radiation, so the hero does not like it very much, but needs a heater in his Martian car. Compare this tiny keg with your 50 ton tower and windmills and solar panels to feed it. Not that difficult, unless one has somekind of religious objections.
