@petethehawkeye.bsky.socialThe solar parking lot idea is great, but if you compare arable land under solar (they call it #agrivoltaics and it works great BTW) to farmland used to grow ethanol for fuel, the ethanol acreage is a WAY higher number. It's not either or. Solar over many crops reduces stress and increases yields.
@aster-verite.bsky.socialBeware of propagandists recycling the same disproven myths about rural solar.
Dual land use protects our food supply, supports rural economies, and generates clean energy at the exact same time.
Don't fall for disinformation.
@aster-verite.bsky.socialAgrivoltaics are real & highly effective, allowing farmers to grow shade tolerant crops and graze livestock directly underneath solar arrays while securing a steady second income.
