    This is how adults argue.
    The biggest windfarm in Australia is the golden Plains windfarm in Victoria with an installed capacity of 1330MW. Right now we are using 15500MW of electricity generation from coal.
    A windfarm life expectancy is 25 years. A nuclear power plant is 2000 years.
    A 3300MW nuclear plant would easily replace the existing coal fired generation sites and not having to install new transmission lines, however transmission lines would have to be built to the wind source location on windfarms.
    Wind farms only produce 30% of their installed name plate rating because the wind does not always blow.
    For wind turbines to be effective they need an area of 5 times the blade diameter times 10 times the blade diameter. The current largest blade are 150 metres in diameter.
    Of the top 19 OECD countries, we are the only country not adopting nuclear.
