Das Kölner Solarcamp ist ein voller Erfolg!
Handwerker*innen, Studierende und Interessierte klettern auf ein Übungsdach und installieren ihre erste Solaranlage.
Großartig!

I don't disagree, but the article was specifically about media reports of "#solar_power vs. farmland" being a false dichotomy.

FARMLAND DESTRUCTION

Imagine if Reuters had presented another kind of dichotomy, equally false, but more illuminating: solar power competes with illegal factories for agricultural land. After all, the 25,000 hectares cited above is roughly equivalent to the 13,000 hectares of farmland occupied by illegal factories and warehouses in Taiwan, according to a report in this paper in 2017.

Even the illegal factories are only the tip of the spear of farmland conversion in Taiwan. Each year farmland is lost to gravel operations, residences, industrial parks and other structures, all with varying levels of legality. At least those are useful: recall that religious structures occupy thousands of hectares of agricultural land, but no one ever writes that this is a problem, let alone that they compete with solar power.

In 2009, Schneider Electric erected a 60 kW solar array as a product demonstrator at their US HQ in Palatine, IL. Schneider moved their HQ facility to Massachusetts in 2014 and sold the building to the Weber-Stephens company, maker of the Weber grill. Since then, the array has languished unused 😞

“These demonstrated capabilities are in line with our plans in integrating higher levels of renewable energy in our grid, which will enable us to achieve our goal to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2040 and to be carbon neutral by 2050.” — reneweconomy.com.au/chilean-so
