Thema: Re:You need about 400 square miles of wind turbines to equal 1 nuclear power plant.

(V):

Output of a typical nuclear power plant: 1,000 MW per hour.
Output of an average wind turbine: 600 kW per hour.

A typical wind farm of 70 turbines and 1,500 acres produces 25 MW per hour. So you would need 60,000 acres of wind turbines to equal 1,000 MW. At the capacity factor of 25%, you will need four times as large area, i.e. 240,000 acres = 375 square miles.
