Could you explain why you consider nuclear power to be more clean than wind? That seems counterintuitive to me.

- oliwarner 2y agoI can't talk to a comparison, but wind turbines have a finite lifespan and leave a lot of fibreglass behind. We're a lot better at piling it up than actually bothering to recycle. We can but virgin materials are cheaper and GRP isn't fun to process. Almost certainly better than nuclear though, right?
- michael9423 2y agoWind turbines do not produce a lot of energy in total so you need a lot of them. Thousands of tons of concrete are poured into the soil for the foundation of one wind turbine, and the foundation is likely never removed, creating ecological implications. And wind turbines also can not be recycled and go to landfills. With nuclear energy, the newest 4th generation reactors are closed systems that consume their own nuclear waste, so there is no final disposal problem.
