0,015% of this planet is golf courses. Great garbage Pacific patch is the size of a Texas. Also, there are empty dead deserts, landfills, and much unused or poorly used space.
Plus much wind power comes from offshore plants, the surface that no use to humans. So 0,2% is actually much smaller number.
