Per unit of energy, wind needs far more [[land]] than solar{{x|in terms of the spacing between the wind turbines; not in terms of the footing size of the turbines}}. However, wind turbines can coexist with crop land, without interfering with [[crop yields]]. Crop land alone could meet global energy demands.{{qn| on a separate page}} | Per unit of energy, wind needs far more [[land]] than solar{{x|in terms of the spacing between the wind turbines; not in terms of the footing size of the turbines}}.
