Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

EDIT: From the article:
~~I don't love the effect of solar (panel) farms on local ecology, since they take up so much space. But anything is better than fossil fuels since they give off the gas that kills everything.~~
photovoltaics are nice but Solar thermal farms and solar updraft towers really tickle my brain.
Every human activity has an impact and solar has got to be among the best things we have in that regard
just replace pasture with solar ez win. far less destructive than cattle
Hell you don't even have to pick and choose. You can do both in the same stretch of land. Solar is well positioned to make good use of land even before animal agriculture dies off.
I mean one big benefit of solar panels is you can put them on top of existing infrastructure.
That’s what kills me about these huge expanses of surface parking lots in FL. Some much solar potential
