[QUOTE="ish, post: 546632, member: 36832"] Interestingly I did some research on this when Mr Elon decided to start citing getting rid of power plants and putting solar farms on the land instead which will generate more power :unsure: ... Well from my research this is incorrect the solar farm would need to be approx. 6-10 times the size of the largest current solar farm to produce the same as the largest producer of nuclear, which also means the solar farm would take up around 4 times more space than the nuclear site. Nuclear downside is they bury the waste underground but that waste will stay present for 100,000s years.(n) [/QUOTE]
