Abstract

Highlights: Wachs and Engel (2021) report outcomes describing energy-land relationships. The methodological approaches in Wachs and Engel (2021) are absent. Results presented in Wachs and Engel (2021) should be considered with caution. Literature reviews and analyses on land-energy relationships should be rigorous. Fair and open standardization of metrics for land-energy relationships are needed.
