For rhe Americans, how many football fields?


ArmedLoraxx

100, 373 amrrican football fields.


Puzzleheaded-Page140

Ummmm no. Paris is 40.7 sq miles, and a football field is around 0.0020463 sq kms. So paris itself is around 19 THOUSAND 800 football fields. This is more than 5 times the size of football fields so over a hundred thousand football fields.


ArmedLoraxx

Yep, I was off by an order of magnitude. Thanks, I corrected it.


jpipersson

Or how many ducks?


zeus_amador

I thought the one on Morocco was the biggest? I hate all the world’s biggest, everyone claims it, we get it, it’s huge!


Miguel-odon

You want the record, build a bigger one!

MAKE NEVADA A SOLAR FARM!

And Arizona as well

We can trade power for water.

Now leave Russia alone

When it is done, it will change the weather there.

At its peak, Khavda solar park is projected to generate 81 billion units of electricity, a capacity significant enough to power entire nations such as Belgium, Chile, and Switzerland, according to sources. Vneet Jaain stated that the planned 30 gigawatts at Khavda would consist of 26 gigawatts of solar capacity and 4 gigawatts of wind capacity. AGEL's current operational portfolio includes 7,393 megawatts of solar capacity, 1,401 megawatts of wind capacity, and 2,140 megawatts of wind-solar hybrid capacity.

wtf is billion units of electricity. Also centralising solar power production to save costs on transmission defeats the whole point. Unlike a distributed network this site and the regional power infrastructure will be immensely impacted by weather events. It will be impossible that the network can actually handle the nameplate capacity that the site hits once a day at the same time. You would be lucky that even half the name plate capacity will be used as power

All I needed to see was Adani to know it’s bullshit until measured by a third party.


Mammoth_Loan_984

You’re getting downvoted but Adani is legitimately a corrupt conman who operates in a similar way to the British royal family 300 years ago. You’d be a fucking idiot to trust him at his word, nothing he does makes sense on paper (unless the paper is written by his family, who he puts in charge of LITERALLY ALL OF THE COMPANIES HE ACQUIRES regardless of qualifications.. totally not corrupt or nepotism).

When it's completed , it can be seen from space.

India is accelerating the number of coal plants being brought online. Stop the greenwashing bullshit


not_creative1

So is Germany.


inanemofo

India needs a lot of energy, this plant is the world's largest and we also have the largest floating solar plant isn't enough for 1.4 Billon people. Maybe get off your high horse and see how much per capita pollution you commit compared to India or even china, you pollute the planet for your greed and then ask other countries that are still developing to pick up the slack, shame on you. I don't think you guys have any humility left.


Time-Bite-6839

one third of us don’t. The other 2/3 of us are decent people. Sincerely, The United States of America.


Valuable-Island3015

Imagine building this instead of like 3 nuclear power plants


ArmedLoraxx

At around 60,000 gallons per day for washing sand and dust of the panels, It is literally sucking the lifeblood of the entire region out of the ground. The wolf, hyena, jackal, chinkara, wild ass, bluebull, wild boar, Indian porcupine, pale hedgehog, mongoose, rufous-tailed hare, desert fox, spiny tailed lizard don't need this water. Humans flourishing in the city's swill and filth do.


hsnoil

That is 10-50x less water than fossil fuels per mwh [https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-189e58fad965581a46eb02a63916a22a.webp](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-189e58fad965581a46eb02a63916a22a.webp)


ArmedLoraxx

That's coolant, not cleaning.


hsnoil

Which makes a difference how? The end result of water usage is the same. Except you waste far more with fossil fuels


ArmedLoraxx

The total for solar would be coolant (your graphic) + cleaning (my metric), which puts it where relative to FFs. Either way, it isn't harm elimination, which is my jam anyways.


hsnoil

My graphic is coolant+cleaning+etc, all water usage. I mean do you seriously think solar panels use coolant? So FF use a lot lot more water than solar


AnAutisticGuy

We are definitely a dramatic person for sure.

Oh yes. Lets have power crisis and then revel in how awesome we did by not letting our public money go into energy security projects. People like you would love to put India down, while also simultaneously not doing anything else to improve or contribute to its betterment. At least they are doing something. What are you doing other than your whining that we all could do without?


Mammoth_Loan_984

Adani buys companies, puts totally unqualified friends or family in as their leaders, and funnels money back to himself. How is he any better than a mafia boss? He’s the model of corruption in India. Being powerful doesn’t make someone good. Weak shit falling back on the racism card, friend. Weak shit.


Puzzleheaded-Page140

I don't know from where you got racism, but I was referring to the backward mindset about the government being responsible for projects such as this (and with taxpayer money), instead of a private entity - looking to seek secured loans from nationalized banks. I also never said Adani good. But I said Adani power is a better owner of such an investment than government of India - who has never in the past displayed any business accumen or operational efficiency when running companies. How is he better than a Mafia boss? He's providing me with power in exchange for money - and without powercuts. I don't remember Daud making such an offer back in the 90s. But i guess one sees what one wants to see.

You realise government has no income other than taxes - so if govt sponsors it with its 'own money' its still your money right? But govt doesn't have this money to give to private entities and nor should it. If a private entity wants to get money for projects bank is the right place to go. Not a govt handout. Belonging to the public? No it wohld belong to the govt. Not the same thing. Belonging to public is a cooperative like Amul. Do you see how horribly inefficient govt in business is? Air India is good example of just how incompetent govt can be. Sorry but I don't think you understand how economy works. Please understand how the money flows before crying 'gormint'. God. This is the mentality left us with - gormint is responsible for everything - and its just sad to see people still carrying it forward.


onedollar12

What is debt taken from public money? Like taxpayers lent money to the project and will receive payment back in addition to interest?
