Kent Hawkins Offers Reasonable Doubt About Wind's Carbon Mitigation Effectiveness (updated repost)

Nuclear Green Revolution had its' origin in a debate which I had with GRIST'S David Roberts. Roberts argued that investments in nuclear power would be a mistake. When confronted with the need for post carbon power sources, Roberts claimed that renewables could provide all the power we need at a lower cost than nuclear power. I did not have a source that provided a strong contradiction, so I set out setting up a preliminary source from scratch. My source looked at what renewables cost and what we got for our money and what else it would take a renewable post carbon system to work. My conclusion was that renewables would be more expensive and far less reliable than nuclear power and the ability of renewables to mitigate CO2 discharges for energy was at best questionable.
