Wired's New Nukes
(Small) Size Matters 
Wired Magazine calls out the need for nukes again in "Nuclear Now" in its Feb 2005 copy, saying renewables are pie in the sky and coal and oil are loading the greenhouse. Chart above shows how much land mass is used up to produce 1 Gigawatt of energy (enough to power one metric shitload of houses, factories, cars, etc.). Note: nuclear, in the bottom left, takes up .33 square miles.
