How Much Land Does Solar, Wind and Nuclear Energy Require?
Update, June 26, 2015: It was brought to my attention that the land use figures used by Brook and Bradshaw assume "fourth generation" nuclear reactor designs and are thus not appropriate for comparison to current generation solar and wind here. Brook and Bradshaw assume a land use intensity of 0.1 sq-km per terawatt-hour per year (sq-km/TWh ...
