Yes. Both, not either or. Where is that shitty competition thinking coming from?

The cynic in me suspects it's an attempt to sow division within pro-solar panel groups. Get them arguing amongst themselves over where to put them, rather than uniting to push for more panels.

Yeah I really hate this post, and how often it seems to surface on lemmy. Agrivoltaics is good for energy and for the plants*!

*Some exclusions apply. Not all plants grow better with the added shade.

In Switzerland, there was a vote on a petition requiring new houses to include solar panels. Conservatives opposed it, arguing that construction costs were already too high without such regulations. Instead, those same people want to build massive solar farms on untouched natural landscapes. To me, the reason is obvious: energy companies want to maintain control over a centralized power infrastructure. This way, they can keep charging us high electricity prices while pocketing subsidies for infrastructure projects.

Ding ding ding that is correct!

no, it's one thing to allow solar panels on houses, but a completely other thing to require them. i'm against the requirement as well. there's absolutely no sane reason for that besides making people uncomfortable if they don't want them. if they want them, they can already get them.

Put them everywhere. I don't care where they go. I want my son and daughter to have a planet to enjoy and raise a family in.
