    It’s a lot easier and cheaper to build a solar plant of ten times the seize compared to one nuclear plant though.

    How did you get those numbers though? A standard on-shore wind turbine has a maximum power output of 2MW. Let’s say on average, it’s half, so 1 million Watt. You’re counting 500k m² per turbine?

    What kind of area did you use for the nuclear plant?

    Also, solar has the added benefit that it can be installed on basically wasted space (e.g., people’s roof) unlike the others.
