Of course! You are quite right but that also shows how 
difficult it is to view wind power as a substitute to nuclear 
power instead of a complimentary asset. If you on the other 
hand want to have wind power INSTEAD OF nuclear power, then 
you MUST make these comparisons. If we in Sweden for instance 
would try to substitute the Ringhals NPP with wind power we 
would have to fill the west coast from the Norwegian border 
to the south coast with 15 lines of 500 kW wind power plants.

In that "environmentallyconscius" country 97% of the electric 
energy is fossil, mostly coal power. In our region the wind 
is nearly constantly coming from the west, so it is southern 
Sweden who has to take the consequences of that! And yet the 
Danes demand that Barsebek NPP should be closed and they also 
demand a guarantee sum from Sweden for potential damages in 
Denmark from a nuclear accident in Sweden.
But when the plant was built in the 70�s the Danes took part 
in all planning and location for the NPP.
