So he has an interest in seeing the footprint for EU production of a solar farm thats on par with a nuclear reactor be more "realistic" to "real life" compared to the footprint of a nuclear generator.
Do we all agree? Clearly no. Would your or I prefer a small 1 block/8 block solution for the same EU production? Clearly yes. But the wonderful thing about all this is we don't have to play on his server! :-D
So regardless of if we think its silly/stupid/illogical/whatever adverb you like to implement this change to his server. Its all ok.
Cake for everyone!
