ROI is critically dependent on the interest rate you borrow the cash at.

For both nuclear and wind, with wind being slightly less so, since it
has far higher ongoing costs than nuclear.

ROI is not critical if its to fight GW.
What is critical is that it saves CO2.
Wind power saves little, if any, CO2 over its expected life.
There is no issue with wind power, it just doesn't do what is required
as a solution to GW.

If you examine WHY the ROI is important, it becomes clear.

Cost are, across the world, labour costs. So if something is expensive,
its because more people are employed to process raw materials to make
it, or because someone ios making a lot of money as profit.

As we have seen in this thread, people who actually understand science
and technology are very rare, so we might not even have enough skilled
people to erect the windmills.
