Land-Use Footprint per Energy Source (2D)

2D top-down scale map comparing nuclear, solar and wind land footprints for the same annual electricity target, with a dual-use land toggle for the wind farm.

This 2D companion draws the same land-use model as the 3D version as a strict top-down scale map: pick a target annual electricity output (by households powered) and watch to-scale squares for a nuclear plant, a solar farm and a wind farm resize side by side, with a toggle that reveals how much of the wind farm's spacing footprint stays usable farmland versus turbine pads and access roads.
