I have my doubts about short and medium term feasibility, and much more importantly storage and adapting carbon-based industrial processes.

But yes, if all it took was 5% of landmass (which also doesn’t get permanently unusable nor polluted), I’d say that would be a pretty good deal, yeah. This is significantly less than what’s used for livestock farming, to put it into perspective.

Realistically, I don’t think we’ll solve storage fast enough to be able to afford zero nuclear power in Europe.

And of course, you can combine those things sometimes - I've seen cattle munching on grass under solar panels in Baden-Württemberg (state just west of Bavaria).
