The Natural Resources Defense Council on Agrivoltaics
At left we see a message from an organization whose motto is “stop solar.” As one might suspect, the propaganda here attempts to stimulate anger on the part of its audience, relying on broad ignorance of the actual truth, i.e., that “agrivoltaics” is an extremely well thought-through concept that provides a wide array of benefits to farmers.
From the NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council):
Recently, the field of agrivoltaics has emerged to explore ways of incorporating solar arrays into farmland without sacrificing that farmland’s arability, effectively allowing landowners to cultivate crops and generate clean energy harmoniously at the same time. Research indicates that growing crops beneath photovoltaic displays can actually yield a distinct set of agricultural and environmental benefits. 
Thanks to the shade provided by the panels, for example, the soil can retain more water, meaning it needs less irrigation. Panels can also help protect crops from hailstorms, high winds, and severe cold and heat, making them less vulnerable to extreme weather events. There’s even evidence to suggest that certain crops actually grow better, stronger, and longer under the protective covering of solar panels than they might otherwise, especially in hotter, more arid growing environments. As the already-hot-and-sunny parts of the world become even hotter and sunnier, the implications are enormous—for the climate, for crops, and for the farmers themselves.
Shame on these rotten propagandists.
Thanks for this, Mark, but I’m afraid I have bad news: if Trump says Kamala Harris is a Marxist, the former president’s base is going to believe him without question.
Why on Earth would anyone want to ingest “climate optimism?” What’s the matter with the truth?
What does the future of thorium fission look like? Fusion? What role are carbon markets playing, how is this likely to change over time?
Though it was not intended to be funny, I have to report that this made me laugh.
Over the millennia since humankind first domesticated the dog, much conversation has been devoted to their intelligence.
There are many nonsensical aspects of Trump’s candidacy, with his healthcare plan close to the top of the list. Since 2016, Trump and his party have had eight years to figure out how to “eliminate Obamacare and replace it with something better, ” a promise they made before and during the former president’s term in office.
Are illegal aliens from Haiti eating our pets? Are our schools performing sex-change operations on our kids (with or without our consent)?
Until very recently in U.S. history, it would have been lethal to a presidential re-election campaign to have 91% of the candidate’s former cabinet refuse to support him. But now the thinking of Trump’s support base is: “What a bunch of woke pansies. Who cares what these girly admirals and four-star generals say about the man God sent to Make America Great Again?”
From Senior Finance/Energy Analyst Robert Rapier:
The meme here was an accepted fact of life until Donald Trump came along.
