I have high hopes that we can provide enough energy by using already disturbed land without sacrificing our irreplaceable natural heritage.

I have high hopes that we can provide enough energy by using already disturbed land without sacrificing our irreplaceable natural heritage.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhich parts of these 22 million acres are "our irreplaceable natural heritage" ? What specifically do you think solar panels will even hurt and why? "Under the current policy, there are at least 80 million acres of federal lands open to oil and gas development, which is 100 times the amount of public land available for solar." I have high hopes that we can provide enough energy by using already disturbed land Based on what? This is enough land to power every house in the US with solar if it was all used. It's interesting that even though crops are grown under solar panels all the time, you are worried about empty unused land and not the land already being used for oil and gas or the fact that 60% of all electricity still comes from fossil fuels in the US. https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3 https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3
