Nuclear power is politically not feasible right now. People who don't want to see windmills are not going to be OK with cooling towers on the horizon either. An irrational fear of the word nuclear is one of the few things that unites left and right, the environmentally conscious and the fossil fuel lobby, the debate on this is pretty much over for the next few generations. Windmills alone cannot meet the total energy need of the Dutch economy, but the neat thing about windmills is that you could potentially plant them almost anywhere in the landscape, without them getting in the way, so it's a nice way to use land that's otherwise being wasted, like dikes, road sides, polders etc.
