31. How much money and land would be needed to build a wind farm to equal Bruce Power?

If you scaled up the Rosco plant to the size of Bruce the cost would be much more. The cost of Rosco was well over $1B. The nominal capacity is 7.8 Megawatts but it rarely reaches that. My neighbors are simply not willing to pay for it.
