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.
I don't mind the wind farm being so close to my house but I would not want a nuclear power plant that close. Would you?

As for repairs the big give away will be seeing them build the big crane in site to remove the gearbox and replace with a new one.
