Yesterday I watched a video about the commercially available options for installing an electric power generation plant on the balcony of your rented apartment. Commercially available, now.

More seriously, off-shore wind takes up virtually no land, and on-shore wind and PV can share land use with pasture, feed crops and horticultural crops. PV actually improves crop yields in dry regions because of the shading and reduced stress on the plants. So in some places it has a negative footprint. Storage uses no more land than peaker gas, and probably less when pipeline right-of-ways are counted.

There really is not a land footprint problem.
