> Yes, if typical operations license is valid for 20 years, the typical life span is obviously 20 years You're moving the goal posts. I merely state the facts as published by manufacturers and those from experience in the field (which show the manufacturer data to be highly optimistic). > You pointing to the maintenance interval is just bad faith argumenting It is not me pointing out the maintenance interval but the EPA. Is the EPA acting in bad faith? > And your claim about the expansion of the lignite usage is another lie. It is on a historical low Germany is re-opening lignite power plants. Tell us how this rhymes with your claim. Also, please, stop using hyperbolic language like 'argumenting in bad faith' and 'another lie', here we deal in facts not feelings. You are clearly ideologically aligned with those who closed the nuclear power plants but do not let ideology cloud your reasoning. Had 'Die Grune' not insisted on closing those nuclear power plants the lignite plants could have remained closed, the wind farm would not need to make place for a lignite mine and power prices in my part of the world (Sweden) would be markedly lower instead of being pushed up due to the fact that the interconnected grid causes prices to be affected by those on the other side of the border.
