An amazing inadvertent admission by the UK government recently revealed just how much land was required to replace a single nuclear plant with renewable solar and wind options.

The land-needed differential is simply staggering - some 300 to 580 times larger for solar and wind production (see top graphic).

Back in 2009, 'C3' created a similar type of image (see bottom graphic) that depicted how much land was needed to replace all U.S. fossil fuel plants with solar and wind facilities - based on this analysis. As in the UK depiction, the nuclear option (see green dot) land needed is a fraction of the enormous appetite of "leading" renewable solutions.

The stunning stuck-on-stupid green ideology shown in all its wasteful environmental graphic glory.
