For nuclear this number is: 78.885.000 kWh per hectare.

Energy density is amazing.

@collectifission TLDR but do the figures include land use to mine raw materials and uranium for fuel, plus enrichment, reprocessing and waste storage facilities. I also loved the assertion that solar panels would 'probably' need replacing three times during the lifetime of Hinckley Point C.

@hicksy2 From a quick glance, it doesn't look like the source Greens for Nuclear uses includes a lifecycle approach, but below page by OWID does. The point being made isn't changed.

And yeah, as things stand right now, it's 'probably' correct that solar parks need replacement about three times during the life of a nuclear power plant.

How does the land use of different electricity sources compare?

All energy production takes up land, but which sources use the most land, and which use it most efficiently?
