re: Talk to me about solar farms

Here's an article about how co-locating solar panels and crops together helps both. The plants benefit from being protected from direct sunlight and consequently don't lose as much water. The solar panels are in turn cooled by the moisture that the plants beneath them release which allows them to run more efficiently. LINK

Sounds good but good luck growing cane and soybean like that

I'm all for solar, but the idea that it's actually helpful for the immediate environment is a ploy at best. Those mirrors are HOT and they kill a ton of birds and beneficial insects.
I know a few guys who worked on the farms on the SoCal/Nevada border. They'll tell you how they would find dead birds everywhere. Louisiana has a ton more birds than southern Nevada.
