Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Will Operate for 80 Years, While Wind Turbines Still Last for 20 Years

“The long useful lifetime of nuclear plants is why they are a lower cost option than wind turbines or solar panels, which only last 20 to 30 years, respectively. Not only do nuclear plants last up to four times as long as wind turbines, they will generate much more electricity than wind turbines or solar panels while they are actually working.”
