I forgot to mention farm subsidies. Farmers are in the business of capturing energy, using the green growing thingies, which they have to plant, nurture, harvest twice a year. Which is a lot of work for 3- 6% of energy captured by photosynthesis. Solar panels are 20 - 25% efficient, and they last 25 years (under warranty) and could last 50 years or more with slightly lower output. Every country has farm subsidies. Ethanol subsidies support 40m acres of corn in US. Worldwide, this could be 100m+ acres for ethanol/biodiesel. If the subsidies were slightly shifted to incentivize farmers to produce solar, it is profitable for everyone.
