Nuclear Power is Sooooo Expensive !!
So goes the Urban Myth.
What do we want? - Electricity !
What do we pay for? - kWh
What's the best value?
Onshore Wind costs 62% more
per kWh than Nuclear
And how many Dorenells = 1 Hinkley?
1,543,000,000,000 ÷
14,235,000,000 = 108
108 Dorenells cost: £39.4bn
1 Hinkley costs: £24.5bn !
1 Hinkley costs: £24.5bn !
What size would 108 Dorenells be?
It would be a [108 x 15.5 =] 1,674 sq km Wind Farm !
But Hinkley's site is only 0.87 km wide x 0.87 km long.
So how long would a Wind Farm be
if it were only 0.87 km wide?
It would be: [1,674 ÷ 0.87 =] 1900 km long !
"..I just love the sight of those majestic Wind Turbines.."
but please - Not In My City Yard !
That's NIMCYs for you !
If the Influential, Idiotic Supporters of Wind Energy, like Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and WWF, along with their duped Media Quizlings, have their way, 16 GW of New Nuclear will be replaced by Wind Turbines.
If Hinkley's 3.2 GW of Nuclear Power costs £14.9bn less than the equivalent number of wind farms,
16 GW of New Nuclear would save £74.5bn
