> "How much energy can we get out of a plot of land of a given size?" I don't believe this is an answerable question in this format. The size of a plot says nothing of land topography, nor the average wind currents for any given timeframe. Wind farms are great tech, but adequate calculation of efficiency and cost/benefit is always subjective to individual installations. Solar farm efficiency calculations are easier because the variables at play are much more consistent. Essentially: panel efficiency * sun exposure * array size. I don't believe this formula translates to wind farms. Finding a more efficient design for wind-to-energy conversion is a lot like making an improvement in the "panel efficiency" part of solar arrays. Or maybe wind has an "array design" variable to consider since one turbine's design can affect the wind energy capacity of another. This isn't the same for solar, unless panels overlap during certain times of the day.
