minus-squarePseu@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year ago eg wind generator parks take up a lot of space Though the vast majority of this space can still be used. I live near a wind farm and the area under the turbines still is ranchland. There are cows just chilling under them. 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.
