You're free to provide them. Call it concern-trolling if you'd like, but I definitely sense you've got a "why don't we just" mindset, where any potential downside is literally a non-issue. You dismiss all concerns and then wonder why something isn't being done when the solution looks so simple.
>"Since solar may use up exactly zero acres, its watts per acre may be infinite."
If it has mass and surface area, it will take up some sort of acreage. Solar panels block light, so obviously anything needing light to survive is going to struggle being underneath them. And, who knew that we could get an infinite amount of wattage out of zero acreage, why haven't those fools designing our electric grid realized this yet?!?
>"But most crops do not, and benefit both from reduced heat stress and reduced water loss."
So you've acknowledged that corn and wheat need full sunlight, but again, it doesn't matter, because in your view solar has no downsides whatsoever. Anything bad is actually good!
>"Please do not make up BS problems."
And you say I'm being the troll here.
- ncmncm 4y agoCorn and wheat do not, in fact, "need" full sunlight. They have slightly reduced yield in partial sun. That is offset against year-round revenue from power generation, a net positive, most places. You were free to read any of the numerous links provided both in TFA and in comments posted here. Instead, you trolled.
