doesn't nuclear require less land than renewables?
Ofc. Looking at people who put solar panels on their roofs, it is enough for a household. Apartments use less power, but have much less roof per apartment. And industries use more power then households.
I think it's feasible (including electric cars), especially since we got hydro and stuff.
Real Engineering on youtube did calculations and such, so i recommend people to look there.
PS Funny how wind and hydro are just indirect solar.
The United States has enough land paved over for parking spaces to have 8 spaces per car - 5% of the land. If just 10% of that space was used to generate solar electricity - a mere 0.5% - that would generate enough solar power to provide electricity to the entire country. By comparison, around 50% of the land is agricultural. The amount of land used by renewable sources is not a real problem, it’s an argument used by the very wealthy pro-nuclear lobby to justify the huge amounts of funding that they currently receive.
Fuck cars
Then where would we park?
In the other remaining 7 parking spaces per car?
now these renewable zealots are waging a war on cars!
I honestly can’t tell if this is sarcastic anymore, internet arguments are so stupid they defy parody at this point :P
:P
