Land Use: Day Night and Power Stations

land use: Two gigawatts is almost the capacity of two modern nuclear reactors, although atomic power works both day and night, according to The Japan Times. We have received requests from businesses that are interested in renting land for building solar power stations, Semerak said in a phone interview from Kiev. Thirteen international investors are among the 39 groups seeking Ukrainian permission to install about 2 gigawatts of solar panels inside the radioactive exclusion zone surrounding the defunct Chernobyl nuclear plant, according to Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Ostap Semerak. We are not looking to profit from land use; we are looking to profit from investment. Radiation that will linger in the soil for centuries means the area can't be used for agriculture or forestry. Three decades after the Chernobyl meltdown displaced over 300,000 people by scattering radiation across large swaths of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, authorities are still trying to figure out what to do with the piece of land twice the size of Los Angeles that surrounds the plant.
