“But under the current trend, land use will decrease exponentially as capabilities increase exponentially”
Most of the cost reductions in wind and solar to date are reductions in producing roughly similar technology more cheaply (somewhat less true in the case of wind and larger turbines), so I am not sure where your view for definite lower land requirements comes from (I think there is some argument for this being possible via next-gen renewables, but not from the perspective of past cost-reduction progress).

OK, thanks for the clarification. Didn’t know that.
