Well people also complain on expansion of agriculture land so I don't think consideration on land usage will disappear.
Real problem is that many people want the energy source which is clean, cheap, invisible, safe, doesn't consume any land or resources and of course has a easy to understand functioning. What could possibly go wrong ?
Driving through rural corn country, you see yard signs at every second residence saying to keep solar out of farming land, so there is land usage consideration, but by the farmers themselves
They do?
Where I live most people complain that agricultural land is being lost to urban sprawl.
Reducing the amount of land available to produce food is not a good thing.
There is that idea to ring the equator in floating solar panels. Not actually sure how viable that is but sounds awesome. Like something you do in that game Dyson Sphere Project. That would certainly alleviate any worries about land usage.
The problem with plans like that is efficiently getting the electricity produced to the places where it is needed.
