Wind vs. Nuclear Capacity
Global offshore wind capacity is growing rapidly, driven by massive projects in Europe, Asia, and North America. Nuclear power capacity, while significant, is growing much more slowly due to long construction times and high costs. The 'No' vote leads because the current gap in installed capacity is substantial, and nuclear plant life extensions (simulated late 2025 context) are adding to capacity. While wind is accelerating, overtaking the global nuclear fleet by the end of 2029 is deemed unlikely, requiring a rate of wind installation that may be logistically unfeasible.
