The claim that land below wind turbines is wasted and cannot be used for other purposes is incorrect.(1) The direct footprint of wind turbines, which includes the turbine bases and access roads, is relatively small, allowing 98% of this land to be utilized for other purposes.(2). Wind farms can coexist with agricultural activities. Studies estimate that 98% of the area within a wind farm remains usable for farming or grazing.(2) This dual land use isn’t possible with fossil fuel extraction, which often results in long-lasting environmental damage.
