Yikes! That is a big cost to public land. I'll give the podcast a listen - Thanks.Rinella’s most recent podcast was tackling the topic of green energy with the nature conservancy and they touched on these very issues, as it stands now the projections of how much land would have to be taken up for wind and solar to power our grid as it stands now are anywhere between the size of the states of Maine and Texas with the consensus being that Arizona is probably about the size of landmass that would be covered up. There is no way in hell they can do all that without taking up useful wildlife habitat

With that, are we "all-in" on nuclear energy, to massively supplement a smaller contribution from wind/solar? Things can go terribly wrong with nuclear power (Fukashima comes to mind). But, could we design the plants and locate them such that the risk is near zero?
