Wind power makes economic sense as nuclear power costs spiral

London

WATER and electric power plants don't mix well naturally, unless you add some wind.

Water tends to corrode and short out circuits. So what's happening in the renewable energy industry, where developers are putting jumbo-jet sized wind turbines into stormy seas, is at the very least an engineering miracle. What might be even more miraculous to sceptics like those populating Donald Trump's administration is that these multi-billion-dollar mega projects make increasing economic sense, even compared to new coal and nuclear power.
