there are always environmental impacts to land when we deprive it of sunlight, which is why picking the low hanging fruit of covering man-made structures with panels would be preferable over large fields
- CyberDildonics 3y agoTrees deprive land of sunlight, that seems to work out fine. Do you have any actual information or data?
- pfdietz 3y agoSince there are environmental impacts of land use, it seems we should maximize the return from each unit of land, to minimize the impact per unit of benefit. Now, compare the value returned by an acre growing feed grain, to an acre collecting solar energy via PV. The latter has enormously higher return. The argument you are making is not an argument against freestanding PV, it's an argument against agriculture. And yet, it is selectively applied to PV.
