The expansion of the world’s renewable energy capacity is akin to a delicate balancing act, with land use being one of the many factors that need to be juggled.

Utility-scale solar and wind parks are witnessing rapid growth in size and number across the globe.

However, the creation of clean energy is not just complicated by NIMBYism, but also by serious environmental and social concerns.

The question arises: when do the benefits of these massive projects outweigh their negative impacts? And when do they not? Is it conceivable that rooftop solar could provide all the energy we need, thereby avoiding legal issues and ecological repercussions?

Is there sufficient space for solar energy? These are the questions that need to be addressed.
