Oh, I have another bone to pick with those people. I know a perfect place for solar panels. Take this satellite photo of a completely random part of Kansas:
The circular irrigation system leaves the corners unused. That’s 21% of the square’s area, wasted.
(edit) I’m not a civil engineer, and I know that putting solar panels and supporting infrastructure so close to a water spray has its own problems, but that is still way too large an area over all of the arable land in North America to just leave unused.
In places that are densely farmed like this, those corner areas are not necessarily wasted. They are the only places that are not monocultures.
Meanwhile, in China.
And even if they can’t have solar, they can probably have windmills. We need a combination of the two.
