Turns out solar is easier and cheaper per kwh.
Next defense of wasting 30 million+ acres of prime farmland when people are starving in the US?

No, wasting resources is. And farmland is a resource.
Don’t get me wrong, obviously there will be a starvation underclass in any place with any form of capitalism, but there’s no reason to exacerbate the problem. Especially when you could generate the same total energy with 1/5th that land and use the rest for actual food. Or rewilding.
