Even a quarter is a huge area. Using the "safety buffer" radius of 425m, that is 560k m2 or 140 acres. A quarter of that is 35 acres, for 30 kW.

For regular wind turbines, it's 30-70 acres per MW generated. That is 20x-40x more power for the same land area. And almost all the land under a wind turbine is freely usable.
