I find the issue of land use for renewables (especially wind) to be similar as land use for rail and highways. Technically they don't use up a lot of land, but when it is time to actually build there tend to be a lot of problems finding land that people are willing to sell. Either because of noise, or because current utilization of that land would be hindered in some way.
Eminent domain is a common tool to solve this, and it is also used for mining. It is however not very popular.
