On Earth those windmill are much cheaper than nuclear power, even taking into account their capacity factor.
humanity however, needs to branch out, and quick. and windmills aren't going to help us make that jump to an interplanetary civilization.

We actually experienced high historical costs in 2021 for electricity as well. Nuclear does not shield us from variation in gas prices
