Excellent article.
Note: I was at one time involved in on shore wind turbines.

They pretty much were.
Then environmentalists changed their minds and decided that windmills were EVIL. It doesn't matter what you do. The Luddites who claim to be environmentals are going to complain about it.
Your remarks about nukes is well taken. However you neglected to mention Thorium
