Quite. And you can keep sheep or grow shade loving crops underneath.
I thought most vehicle ethanol came from sweetcorn. Grown with huge amounts of water and fossil fuel derived nitrate fertiliser, and then processed with more water and fossil fuel energy. I suspect 10% ethanol in petrol uses more fossil fuel than the 10% replaced.
It's a subsidy for the Agri, AgriChem sector.

Yes, Same here. Remember the article. Can't place it.
@jbond @matthewtoad43 @CelloMomOnCars @failedLyndonLaRouchite @hanscees whoa, so there can be only one explanation- mass hallucination!
Seriously, wonder if it was published and later pulled? Couldnβt be backed up? Snuffed by Big Ag?

Google's not helping a lot. I don't think it's hidden. But I do think there's the usual Right Wing Contrarians claiming a green and pleasant land will be destroyed by ugly PV farms.

This from The Conversation can be a start for your further search:
"Studies from all over the world have shown #crop #yields increase when the crops are partially shaded with #solar panels. These yield increases are possible because of the #microclimate created underneath the solar panels that conserves #water and protects plants from excess sun, wind, hail and soil erosion."

IMO, combining the German invention of #agrivoltaics with the ancient and proven #Andean agricultural, water-management, and flood-control system of #WaruWaru could solve food, water, land, and green energy challenges in all parts of the globe where there still will be sufficient annual #precipitation.
Here is how:
