PURPA had the biggest effect in California, leading them to produce around 14,000 wind turbines in the 1980s (Nersesian 309). Sadly, after oil prices went back down, the US slacked off of renewable energy allowing Denmark to lead the way in the creation of the first offshore wind farm in 1991 (Ragheb).

In the planning phase of siting both new Wind Farms (WFs) and Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), many benefits and challenges exist. An important aspect taken into consideration during the NPP siting is the existence of ultimate heat sink which is sea water in most cases. That is why most NPPs are sited on sea coasts.
