Cost of wind keeps dropping, and theres little coal, nuclear can do to stop it

7. Well that's more than a bit misleading

What you said about the lifespan of windmills is misleading. It may be said that windfarms from 40 years ago are in disuse but that was mainly due to factors other than mechanical.

Comparing the lifespan of a windmill to that of a car is fairly open ended. Are you talking about a 40 yr old Mercedes or VW Beetle or 10 yr old Ford Focus?

The fact is that windfarms today produce power at very little cost and are making economic life miserable for both coal and nuclear.

Most of the cost of a windfarm is in initial construction - going thru the permitting process. Unlike a fossil fuel plant that needs a constant supply of fuel. Once online the cost to replace the generator or blades is minor and offset by improvements in output and it's not like fossil fuel plants don't have considerable maintenance costs as well.
