It does highlight the elephant in the room with all renewable energy sources. They all use up a lot of land. We have what used to be a coal-fired power station in the UK that could be replaced in terms of energy output by about 200 square miles of mirrors. Windfarms usually require even more space than solar farms.
For instance, a windfarm that covered eight times the area of Texas could power the USA. Would that be acceptable?
Take a look at some natural gas extraction sites. No, not the wind turbines, the smaller towers. How many can you make out?
Hahaha, funny. Since it is under the surface there must not be an issue, right?
Faggotry I say.

Perfect. Just not in my neighborhood.
