“A wind farm,” [Brand says] “would have to cover over 200 square miles to obtain the same result [as the 1-GW nuclear plant], and a solar array over 50 square miles.” On p. 86 he quotes Jesse Ausubel’s claim of 298 and 58 square miles respectively. Yet these windpower figures are ~100–1,000x too high, because they include the undisturbed land between the turbines —~98–99+% of the site— which is typically used for cultivation, grazing, wildlife, or other uses (even solar collection) and is in no way occupied, transformed, or consumed by windpower"
