> but because it's not a distributed technology and operates from a small number of critical locations. I would also think from a defense point of view, this is good, as if you have a strategical asset, defending could be easier to defend a set of wind power sources or solar, which are distributed. From an attacker point of view, if they want to smash a country's power sources to gain an advantage it could be easier to send few missiles around low protected wind / solar sources, than put off a well defended nuclear plant
