People worry about how much land we'd need to supply the US with clean energy. Well, @elonmusk and I have independently calculated it and we both come up with something roughly comparable to the area we currently use for maple syrup or golf. A square about 100-120 miles per side.
@elonmusk As a 🇨🇦 let me hasten to clarify that I'm not advocating for removing maple syrup production but rather for co-production of energy on land that is also used for farming or pollinator ecosystems 😁 For example, @FreshEnergy runs this amazing clearinghouse: fresh-energy.org/beeslovesolar/
@elonmusk @FreshEnergy And here in West Texas, wind energy is typically located on private land that is simultaneously used for cotton farming or ranching.
