I have trouble saying that wind is worse than coal when looking at the externalities. Among it's many problems Coal directly results in thousands of deaths and 100's of thousands of cases of respiratory distress in the US every single year. It's only when you consider the direct costs and ignore everything else that coal is in any way competitive with wind when building a new power plant.
I didn't say anything about coal. I think the winner on the net is not-insane nuclear. ("Not-insane" would entail things like not having a lot of nuclear waste because we pretty much already know how to fix it, we just aren't allowed to.)
