I'd have thought that nuclear requires the least amount of space of all energy sources.
- andrewxdiamond 5y agoPlants require dedicated space that cannot be used for anything else. Plants also require security barriers and other obstructions that take up more space. You could (potentially) put a full solar array, enough to power your house, on your roof right now, and not take up any additional space.
