So what does a 5 or 10 GW Chinese wind power plant look like? Like this. A solid 150 kms of wind turbines in the Gansu desert. This is how it gets done.

@pretentiouswhat Ah yes, building the equivalent wind stopping power as a mountain range. What could possibly go wrong 🙄
@pretentiouswhat @bradplumer How many are actually interconnected though.
@pretentiouswhat For context of the difference in land needs for wind, this natural gas plant is about 1 GW.
@pretentiouswhat And 2000x less land would be used if you just put a nuclear plant there.
@pretentiouswhat @RogerPielkeJr Obscene. The very visual definition of low density, low reliability power. The amount of energy and natural resources that went into building this monstrosity is staggering.
