Empty eh? Tell that to the swarms who live in London and the Midlands.
Also the "unsettled land" is used for growing food - or hadn't you
noticed?

And some of the unsettled land is unsuitable for either housing or
agriculture.
Or indeed windmills

Or, if it comes to it, nuclear power stations. Too far from the demand,
too far from the water, too likely to get flooded...

Yup. Fortunately you need about 1000 times less land area for a nuke
than a windmill farm.

30 nukes could run the entire UK grid at current levels and about 100
could run the whole country - if we could find and efficient way to make
diesel and petrol out of heat electricity water and carbon dioxide.
