Besides we can still use that same land for crops with agrivoltaics
Besides we can still use that same land for crops with agrivoltaics
It was a metaphor, no one is thinking of replacing farmland with solar panels.
And this whole thread ignores inclement weather. A few years ago Texas had 35MW of solar panels destroyed in minutes by hail. Hurricanes and tornadoes will do the same thing.
Hurricanes and Tornados can, and do, do the same to refineries too.
Fair point. It’s just the idea of using perfectly good farmland to fuel cars feels like a fucked up priority to me.
