Having been to some of the largest wind farms in the UK I have a
little idea about noise. There is certainly some machinery noise if
one stands directly under the nacelle. By about 10 metres from the
base of the tower it is inaudible.


10m from the base is about 1 extra metre from the nacelle!

Nuclear power is by far and away the most sustainable form of electricity
production,


Ignoring all the other problems it can only be sustained until the
uranium runs out. The idea of extracting it from the sea is a
variant of perpetual motion machines.


You can only extract energy from the wind when its there.
Of course climate change will change wind patterns so you may have to move
all the wind turbines to somewhere the wind still blows.

Oh and it is sustained by the fusion reaction in the sun which will be
useless once all the hydrogen has been used up.
