This is so crucial. When people think about these land comparisons, they don't think about the entire sprawling infrastructure behind FF.
"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."
