There are "crops" that do just fine under/around solar panels to. Think flowers, herbs, and green leafy vegetables. Not the easilly machine cultivated and harvested cash-cows corporate farmers insist upon, but that technology, too, is being worked on.

Almost all the arguments against green technology revolve around "money printer go brr, how dare force us to put some money back into changing how it works when we would rather throw bodies into it and sell it off for parts as it continues churning out money?" Of course, they hate competition as well, no matter how bad they are at producing whatever it is they pretend to be selling.
