The writer seems to work for the power company that runes the nuclear power plant.

Regarding the Aug. 18 letter indicating that the Perry nuclear power plant could be replaced by wind turbines (”Forget nuclear bailouts; create wind energy jobs”): Perry’s rated power output is 1,256 megawatts. The high-end wind turbine output generation on a perfect day is 3 MW. That would require 418 wind turbines to replace Perry. Perry has zero greenhouse-gas emissions and provides a constant 1,256 MW of power generation around the clock, wind or no wind.
