@craiggrannell Here is some really interesting study in where they are pushing for (via the ) . They calculated that 10% coverage of agricultural lands would provide for 37% of needs. climaterealityjapan.org/01/wp-

"It’s an ironic fact that sun-harvesting solar panels function better when they’re not too hot. But luckily researchers have now discovered precisely how to cool them down. Building solar panels at a specific height above crops can reduce surface temperatures by up to 10 °C, compared to traditional panels constructed over bare ground, they’ve found."

One of the most promising things to me is generational thinking, and either alternating land between and farming, or using to accomplish both simultaneously. Coordinated longterm use of land over wide areas for generations is how we get to .

And if you can no longer use the land for farming, that means it won't continue to support farming jobs either.

On the flip side, using such land for solar has huge benefits for communities, not just the individuals leasing the land for income. A solar plant lifetime will be 20-30 years, and regenerative practices can return the land to use as a farm after if the owner doesn't want it to continue as a plant. Or, they can continue both with .

There is a concern that we’re going to take too much farmland out of production to put on solar panels,” Mathewson says in a new study. “But we’re already using a lot of land to primarily harvest energy in the form of corn made into ethanol. This analysis demonstrates how, with solar, we can harvest more energy using far less land.

It is not either or… but both.
