Who pays the cost when the wind turbine melts down?


And who pays the cost when you need to decommission a nuclear power plant?

I'm not against nuclear in general, but accounting should be apples-to-apples.


I'm afraid you didn't read the sarcasm in "wind turbine melts down". The way I see it, the op was taking a dig at nukes


Ouch. You're probably right :)


the same process for when a coal fired power station breaks down. the price of regular maintenance and in the event of catastrophic failure, insurance.


It was a joke.
