> Artificial lighting saves land because plants can be grown above each other, but if the electricity for the lighting comes from solar panels, then the savings are canceled out by the land required to install the solar panels.
Solar panels don't have to be on land; they can be on buildings. Moreover, they don't have to be on land that is arable. Moreover, solar is not the only way to avoid fossil fuels in the quest of electricity.
Also, it's cheaper to transport electricity from a distant electric farm, than vegetables from a distant vegetable farm.
