US is lucky to have lot of land, But still wind power needs 1sqmile(640 acres) per 10MW of electricity.
probably solar needs even more.

Now US has electricity generation capacity of ~1000GW
Rough calculation show that : 1000*1000*64 ( 64 acres per MW).
So US needs 64M acres of land.

Anybody investing.. as our elites want to get rid of all fossil fuels.
