In this post, John Dobken compares the cost and value of a proposed wind farm (intermittent energy, heavy taxpayer subsidies, six to ten permanent jobs) with the cost and value of a nuclear plant (steady energy, very little subsidy, 1500 jobs at two plants).  He calculates that a nuclear subsidy of less than half the value of a wind subsidy would keep nuclear plants operating. A nuclear subsidy would be a far better use of government money than the wind subsidies: both for the ecology and for the economy. https://northwestcleanenergy.com/2016/05/19/its-about-value-and-the-future/
