If you are concerned about solar's use of land then you must be positively apoplectic about using corn for ethanol. That uses more than 40% of US corn production, an amount of acreage so vast it's difficult to comprehend.

Using PV with BEVs instead of ethanol in ICEs would be something like 200x more land efficient.
