Renewable Energy or Farmlands: Choose! By James Reed

A good point is made at the Saltbushclub.com, a site which takes apart the climate change alarmist nonsense with common sense reasoning the ordinary bloke can relate to; yes, I know the technical science is important, but so is communication. The point made is that prime agricultural land is being blanketed by solar panels. Solar and wind take up a vast amount of space, and we can consider this a form of pollution in itself, "space pollution." That is not to even consider the economic and environmental costs of these monstrous gadgets.

You can have prime farmland, and plentiful food, or solar panels and wind turbines, everywhere, and go hungry. Me, give me energy-dense fossil fuels any day.

"Australia's prime agricultural land is being carpeted with endless seas of solar panels and thousands of these things are being speared everywhere the panels can't go.

Dilute and diffuse, wind and solar require a staggering amount of space, and way more than their occasional, weather (and/or sunshine) dependent power generation can ever hope to justify.

Taking up vast tracts of farmland with solar panels means that that land produces nothing else. While the solar panels are lucky to produce power for 5-6 hours every day (ie 20-25% of the time).

Spearing hundreds of 300 tonne, 280m high turbines into productive farmland brings its own range of special 'challenges' for primary producers."
