      A new initiative in California will repurpose farmland that is no longer able to sustain agriculture. The arid land will be used to build large solar farms, providing renewable energy to the grid instead of growing food.

      The board of California’s Westlands Water District adopted the new clean infrastructure plan with a view to building 21 GW of solar power, a press statement explained.

      The Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan is a “major land-repurposing initiative,” the Westlands Water District explained in its press statement. The initiative aims to repurpose fallow farmland, as water shortages “force large-scale land fallowing across the San Joaquin Valley.”

      Good idea, and I hope they can build on to this in ways that utilize the solar infrastructure to integrate with farming practices. There are a lot of opportunities to incorporate „Agri-voltaics“ as it’s being called.

      This is exactly the type of project our government should be supporting and funding, instead of non-renewables.

      I am all for sensible renewable energy efforts (e.g. roof utilization, which is entirely sufficient), **but**:

      Anyone dishonest about the fact that this is mindless destruction of nature and landscapes is an ignorant totalitarian, just like those who deny anthropogenic climate change.

      Reading about nonsense like this, „agri-voltaics“, etc., just makes me cringe again about how many people with zero clue about most trivial things dare to spread their stupidity into the world.
