The thumb area of the lower peninsula of Michigan has farms. While it's a high alt /ult rt plus malitia concentration in pockets, there are many wind turbines on farms. Terry Nichols who sold fertilizer to Tim McVey was from Decker.
About nuclear power, very efficient but fusion would be better. No waste. Spent fuel rods may be safe when the storage vessels aren't breached, but the half life is still long. We are running out of places to even put plain trash.
My uncle worked at the Shippingport Pa atomic plant, and a friend who was a nuclear engineer at the St Onofore plant in California for Rockwell. I read the book We almost lost Detroit. After the Fermi 1 reactor overheating and near meltdown in 1965, the reactor is sealed in lead and concrete forever. Duquesne power and energy put warning sirens in the hills of Beaver valley Pa. More after Three Mile Island. Shippingport wasn't expanded but a coal and gas fired plant named Bruce Mansfield was built adjacent to it in the 70s.
Fermi 2 was built following the investigation which revealed that the Fermi 1 reactor scram was caused by a cooling line fin weld defect. It cracked off and blocked a valve. Inspection microfiche photos from the builder Babcock and Wilcox were missing so the faulty weld was never found.
So I too say use all energy sources. Drill baby drill? We all know most of that was happening on an island and on Park Avenue or in Palm Beach.
