The U.K. plans to invest in new nuclear power following France’s lead, but breaking ranks with Germany and the big Green pressure groups.
The U.K. Department of Energy & Climate Change published this infographic, but then took it down. Businesses reaping billions in subsidies from solar and wind deemed it “unhelpful.”
The facts according to the U.K. government?
Acres required to power 6 million homes:
Wind 250,000
Solar 130,000
Nuclear 430
The Daily Telegraph calls it “the infographic the U.K. government doesn’t want you to see.”
The U.K. should not only want you to see this, it should add in coal and gas as well.
Not verified but someone has pointed out this 430 acres include that used while building the plant, when complete the Hinkley Point footprint will fall to 160 acres
