I enjoy seeing land use comparisons. I think there was one a while ago that showed how much land the US would require to house everyone at Tokyo-level density (not much). Another showed how much land we would need to dedicate to solar panels to power the country (also not much).

Also worth noting here that the 240k acres they own wouldn't get them into the top 10 private landowners in the US.
