    Wind in general is worse than nuclear, however wind on land (say the great plains) is safer than nuclear, though that resource is obviously limited.

      Do you have a source on this? I can't find anything.

        These obviously don't take into account the imperialism required for various things

          Neither of these separate wind out by onshore vs offshore? At least anywhere I see?

            Yeah I'm having a hard time finding the study that I used for that information, I know it exists for sure though because I found it surprising

              Let me know if you find it! I'd find it surprising too.

                Regardless, here's materials required to produce the various kinds of energy: https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/2017/6/21/are-we-headed-for-a-solar-waste-crisis

                  That's a neat breakdown! It's kind of funny seeing hydro there: yup, it's just concrete.
