In light of new plans to build the Hinkley Point C power station in southwest England, the U.K. energy ministry released an infographic that compares the amount of real estate the nuclear plant will occupy to the land demands of current wind and solar power facilities.
The new $26 billion Hinkley project is expected to generate about 5 percent of England’s energy generating capacity, whereas it will occupy only a fraction of the land area required by those other energy sources.
