minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 years ago eg wind generator parks take up a lot of space Though the vast majority of this space can still be used.

The wind company pays farmers for the land in a long term lease agreement: https://www.wri.org/insights/how-wind-turbines-are-providing-safety-net-rural-farmers.
