This is not really possible to estimate as unlike coal, hydroelectric, and nuclear power plants which are single large facilities, wind and solar power facilities are incremental distributed facilities involving many separate small units distributed over a large area that can be built slowly over many years and brought on line individually producing usable power as soon as each such tiny unit is finished.

None. Building a nuclear power station is a job for engineers.


How many power plants can be replaced by a nuclear power plant?

It all depends on the size of the two types of plants ... but on average it would be one for one.


Why would you build a nuclear power plant in a middle of a desert?

Seems unlikely. Any power plant is useful only if it can deliver power to where it is required. Also you need a good source of water for cooling. The one clear advantage, however, is that it would be far from populated areas, and hence far less dangerous to people.


How would you get power on Pluto?

You need your own power and build power lines.


Why would you not build a nuclear plant in the middle of a desert?

A nuclear power plant needs a large heatsink, i.e. cooling water. There is very little cooling water in the middle of a desert. That is why nuclear power plants are generally built on the edge of oceans or lakes, or on large rivers.


What is difference between structure of steam turbine in thermal power plant and nuclear power plant?

Nothing, except possibly size, but that would be because of different power rating of plant not different type of plant.


What were jobs at the san gabriel mission?

Would it be safe to build a nuclear power plant in a city in order to supply the city with alternative power?

Most nuclear plants operate their whole lives entirely safely, but as we have seen in Japan recently, things can go wrong occasionally and its best not to have too many people living near the plant. Transmission lines from the plant at say 20 miles can easily bring the power to the city instaed.
