As for gearbox failure, they expect to change one in the 25 year life of the 12 which is less than a 10% failure rate.

Web will see how many times respairs are needed, but of course we will only know what the companies tell us - can we rely upon them to be totally honest?
I would much prefer the nuclear option - providing we don't have them built by the companies that did 5 Mile Island or Chernobyl the safety record is very good. Yes there is a long term problem with the disposal/storage of nuclear waste but that can be safely resolved - and they would not have any influence on wind patterns and therefore changes to weather patterns - might even bring back sunny summertime.
