I agree with Kokuten's post above.
Atomic power looks like a better stopgap than windpower.
Windpower has a lot of advantages, but those that support it seem to forget that windpower needs a wind to produce power. You don't always have wind so even with large wind farms you still have to build conventional powerplants to take up the slack when those wind farms are becalmed.
If your going to have to build powerplants anyway then I personally lean toward Atomics being better than the Coal or gas powerplants.
Did a little more searching this time with "Atomic power vs wind power." Came up with several websites, but here are two that caught my interest enough to read.
