    Inkai uranium mine produces about 40W/m^2 in fuel for the actively leeched land where everything is killed by the sulfuric acid.

    If you include the 15km buffer where you can’t live or eat anything it’s about 20W/m^2

    Solar averages 20-50W/m^2 with current tech.

    Rooftop solar uses no land. Agrivoltaics have negative land use. Roughly 30m^2 of roof and 30m^s of facade or is sufficient for the average high income country european’s final energy use.

    Solar uses a strict subset of the materials needed for a nuclear plant, so land use from the uranium mining is in addition to construction.

    Like every pro-nuke lie, your land use pearl clutching is the oppksite of the truth.
