When you count for buffer land around nuclear (most don't want to live too close) land use becomes comparable to solar
For example, look at Diablo Canyon site acreage vs the acreage of the new large-scale solar project in Pahrump, NV.

- prawn 5y agoWe're commenting on an article about solar panels covering a productive farm. Need not be a wasteland. Solar installations are generally not placed where there'd otherwise be a forest, at least not where I live. I've usually seen them in deserts (where living creatures would appreciate the shade) or the sort of land people would've already considered wasteland.
