Personally I think they should be put to sea. Along with floating farmland. Just make concrete (or seacrete!) pontoons, connected together into 1000 km^2 islands. Leave the actual land to nature. I concede that is currently scifi though.
- ncmncm 4y agoMaybe you could take your own remark as a clue that dual-use does not "cover" every square centimeter with panels. When you recognize you have plenty of land that is not being used up by placing panels in it, you can understand there is no need to try to pack panels as closely together as conceivably possible. You can leave room between for livestock and grass. Open ocean has destructive waves. Panels do much better on calm reservoirs and ponds.
