Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas get enough wind for a good chunk of all our energy. The problem, I suppose, is distributing it to the rest of the nation, and the fact that big businesses like the NRC don't want you to know that it's feasible in the first place.
You didn't address the issue of nuclear waste (or the contaminated ground water), either. Blowing pieces out of Yucca Mountain to put waste there is not a good idea. Having trucks transport it on the highway is just plain dangerous. Some companies want to import even more waste from Italy, I guess because Italy has nowhere to put it.
There are reports of correlation between birth defects and proximity to nuclear plants. Of course, this can't imply causation, but I don't see anything else that would do that. What I'm getting at here is that I don't believe shielding is adequate. On top of this, I know of plants that are run in such a manner that attempts in reporting problems with the plant results in the firing of the person who reported it. They might work in a perfectly controlled situation, but the power companies are too greedy for that to happen.
