Just for comparison, to replace its nameplate capacity of 1430 MW you would need 286 wind turbines 5 MW each, occupying 476 km2 in total. That's around the area shown on this screenshot, all filled with wind turbines.

But then, that's *nameplate* only, so 100%. In reality, on-shore wind has ~20% capacity factor, so the area needs to be increased 5x to *actually* get the same amount of energy (kWh).

2383 km2 of wind turbines to replace a single 1430 MW nuclear power plant.

This is Grohnde #nuclear power plant. In February 2021 it produced 400 TWh low-carbon electricity since it started in 1984, with no accidents or leaks.

The plant occupies 0.4 km2 and is surrounded by farm fields.

"Kamis" could probably use this as an advertisement - Russian president using Polish spices 😂

A number of my relatives are believers in "Smoleńsk assassination", and just over the last few days I've heard them asking questions like:

* so why did Tusk (the PM conflicted with President) even allow them to fly? (false)
* so why did they give away the investigation to Russians? (false)
* so why didn't Russia return the wreck? (true)

...all of which they perceive as evidence that the three official investigations were rigged, and the plane somehow magically flew itself into the ground.

PiS simply rejected three official reports and started a classic Gish gallop, spinning not a single but dozens of half-baked conspiracy theories, and at all the time completely ignoring the primary and fundamental questions: why did the crew simply fly into the ground while talking and ignoring TAWS warnings?

All alternative theories simply pretended none of this ever happened - the plane was lured into an artificial fog, blown up etc etc, as if the cabin recordings never existed.

Smoleńsk was a logical consequence of that risky culture in the highest Polish command. Initially, both opposing parties (PO and PiS) were so shocked that they basically cooperated in the investigation to find out what happened.

And when they found out, the hell unleashed, because PiS couldn't just accept that their general and staff basically flew their President into the ground.

What happened next largely resembled Russian investigation into the #MH17 crash.

Now, on more personal angle, the crash has been highly divisive in Poland.

Large part of society simply refused to believe, against all available evidence, that the Polish pilots could have simply flown into terrain while TAWS was screaming TERRAIN AHEAD.

The main problem is that before Smoleńsk there were already *three* military aircraft crashes, very similar to Smoleńsk - risky decisions, in violation of any safety rules, poor weather.

As April is nearing, the topic of Smoleńsk air disaster in 2010 reactivates in Poland 🇵🇱

A year after the crash it was 100% clear that the plane shouldn't even have left Warsaw by law, and certainly shouldn't have attempted landing in dense fog.

It was entirely avoidable, caused by a sequence of risky misjudgements and classified as "controlled flight into terrain".
