Secondly, it costs more to make than it saves in its lifespan. Wind power is a worthless pile of rubbish.

If 25% of the FIT payment went into local development, council tax subsidy, triple glazing, sound proofing of houses, etc. the picture would change overnight.

Additionally do research and build experimental reactors of the next generation. If not, be prepared to buy them from Russia and China in 20 years.
