|    Dreaming of solar electric sheep    |

      From: here@is.invalid              We might call them solar farms, but there's often no farming going on       under solar panels. That's a real shame. But as Rachel Williamson       reports, with some hard work and planning, a solar harvest doesn't       need to impact agricultural output.       ...       ..       That research has shown that it's possible to farm and produce       electricity at the same time. And with hard work and planning, it's       possible while maintaining Australians' ideal of what the bush should       be. Luckily, we don't have to go into this situation blind. In Europe       and Japan, limited land forced new ways of thinking about power and       farming many years ago. And in the USA, business-savvy farmers       developed a new multi-billion-dollar industry out of 'solar grazing'.       Australia has a lot to gain from the idea that farming and solar can       happily coexist.              https://cosmosmagazine.com/earth/agriculture/dreaming-of-solar-electric-sheep/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
