Actually, the idea of using the wind to generate electricity is not a bad one. But they are just too big and clunky to be of any real use. Liberals make a huge deal out of a dozen wind turbines powering a few houses but it is just not a practical solution for an entire country. They could build wind turbines a lot stronger but it would add to the cost making it less efficient financially than fossil fuels.
I am not yet a fan of nuclear power. I think that has its problems too, cooling being just one of them. But, I admit I am not as up to date on the latest technology as I should be. We have people bitching about water use by data centers imagine their outrage over water usage by nuclear power plants.
