Nuclear Power Vs. Windmills, Which is Better?

Nuclear power's biggest problems are economic: it is simply no longer competitive with other, newer forms of power generation. The final 20 U.S. reactors cost to billion to build, or some ,000 to ,000 per kilowatt of capacity. By contrast, new gas-fired combined cycle plants using the latest jet engine technology cost 0-0 per kilowatt, and wind turbines are being installed at less than ,000 per kilowatt.

Windmill power contracts were signed with power sold at three (3) CENTS per Kw-hr. Less than half the price of the most efficient solar cell panels.

How is wind energy going to create jobs?

Not including the green jobs the free market has already taken into account.
Wind energy costs 25% more than coal. In essence our energy productivity will go down by 25%.
Whenever has productivity going down created jobs?
Do not give me the foreign oil, the only time foreign oil is used in energy production is for peeker plants. Wind can not replace that.
As an engineer I like the idea of power and all kinds of power. Also as an engineer I can not see a more expensive means creating jobs.

First they own news networks that actively promote Obama and Democrats. MSNBS is a 24 hr campaign ad for Obama,
Second -They are the recipient of "Green Jobs" for wind power generation even though the jobs are almost all in their China plants.
Third - They were recipients of TARP funds and would have gone under without them. How does that make GE executives qualified to tell Obama how to run the country? Should we get some AIG guys as advisers also?
But why not have one that was a failure advise you. GE Finance would have failed without TARP and GE only has "Green Jobs" for growth.
Why not pick a winner to advise him instead of a loser.

Ethanol is currently produced by fermentation of corn. There are other ways such as the fermentation of whole plants, like "switchgrass", a native North American grass. How ecology friendly is ethanol -- its use, it production by various methods?

Is Syngas another form of alternative energy?

Syngas is a by-product of all materials derived from plants, animals,coal, oil or oil based materials, sewage sludge, plastics and synthetic fibers. It can be used as a building block to create other forms of renewable energy using a machine called gasifier. I have searched but I haven't found any article that claims Syngas as another form of alternative/renewable source of energy.

Renewable energy?
