Serious question. Why would it ever need to be one or the other?
There's already solar panels on "prime agricultural land", so what? Land use for solar/green power is so small right now, we shouldn't be trying to regulate where it can't be installed.... Put it everywhere.
On your house, above parking lots, on the rooftops of large warehouses... If there's a surface that's exposed to the sun for 5-8 hours a day, put that shit there. Unless there's a good, practical reason not to...
IDK seems a lot like a false dichotomy to me.
"we don't want solar panels on farmland" is just a conservative talking point. It's not actually a problem, but it's something that resonates with their boomer voter base.
Not just boomers or conservatives. I'm generally pretty liberal but when I see land developed for solar, and they're using weedkiller in there and it used to be a farm or a forest, it just feels wrong somehow.
Like this has to be early days and it will get better, right
