Renewable energy production and nuclear power plants have very different space requirements.
> find space for renewables
Germany has more than 30000 wind turbines. For example here in North Germany it's planned to increase the offshore wind energy production by a factor of three in the coming decade. This offshore space is available.
- loeg 7y ago> Renewable energy production and nuclear power plants have very different space requirements. Chiefly, that wind and solar require much more of it.
