I literally showed you how it’s cheap even if you use agricultural land. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in an airplane, but the vast majority of our country is empty or farmland. It’s just a tiny crust of civilization surrounded by wilderness and farms. And typically, a solar farm is going to have less impact than intensive agriculture. In the United States, land cost for utility scale solar is just not a real constraint at all.

The hilarious thing about his argument is that it rules out agriculture also. I guess we can stop worrying about all this since we've already all starved to death.
