People do think that there are vast areas of cheap and lightly utilized land outside of the urban corridors which could produce more money with solar, wind, etc than they do today. They believe this because it is 100% correct, and would be correct whether you were talking about renewable energy or any other light industry.
The author seems to think that because this land is used at all and not free solar etc cannot go there, which is a baffling claim to me on both points.
