Also known as a single nuclear reactor. While I am all for renewables the real problem is storage and buffering. The solutions in these areas are improving but not nearly as fast as needed.
A cheap supercapacitor with less than 10% daily discharge rate could go a long way in positioning renewables to shine.
Maximum damage to the environment in case of a disaster for a 1MW reactor with a lot of waste fuel stored on the site is rendering the Northern Hemisphere (where almost all such reactors are) inhabitable.
Windmills make tons and tons of waste - there are entire mountains made from mine tailings and slag (obviously not all from windmills, but don't think windmills are free of waste).
