One nuclear reactor is worth 45 wind turbines for Jean-Luc Mélenchon

Jean-Luc Mélenchon defended his plan to phase out nuclear power by claiming that one reactor is equivalent to 45 offshore wind turbines. This comparison was challenged because current wind farms require approximately 250 standard wind turbines to replace a single 900 megawatt unit. The candidate's entourage justified this figure by basing it on theoretical projects for new generation wind turbines featuring a unit power of 20 megawatts.
