If we converted the land used for growing corn, specifically to be made into ethanol fuel, to house solar panels that alone would create more energy than the US is currently using. Then you can plant cash crops that need more shade, but have higher profit margins, in the same fields as the solar panels and still maintain the land's agricultural importance
I don't think you're thinking this through. How would the corpos turn a profit between now and when those panels are up? You're not thinking about the short term loss of profits. It could render and entire family vacation without champaign! Downright unamerican.
I heard about that in a technology connections video. Apparently it's eight times the current US electricity consumption, even though those fields are mostly in the higher latitudes.
