But the nuclear plant is probably more than a couple of thousand times more
expensive to start off with. I think you also have to consider the
de-commissioning cost of the Nuclear power plant.
In the UK you can get a wind turbine that will meet the need of a
household's electric though I guess to be self sufficient you'd want solar
panels
as well.

It would take a couple thousand big generators on a stick to power the

Then the wind would have to blow constantly.
I wonder how big a big generator on a stick would need to be to power
the average American home.
As of now, big generators on a stick are not cheap, either.
