Following a discussion with a friend, it has been pointed out to me that the carbon footprint of a wind farm is equal to or higher than that of a nuclear power station over the course of both their lifecycles - inclusive of complete nuclear decommissioning. It begs the question: what is the point?

I find that a highly dubious assertion. How can the carbon footprint of the windfarm be so large and what are the factors for both forms of generation?
