the picture is correct, there's a common post that does the rounds every now and again that says we should put solar panels over car parks instead of building dedicated solar farms, this image provides reasoning as to why dedicated solar farms are a good option, while also recognizing that solar panels over car parks also have their place
my personal opinion on this is, new solar panels should be installed in dedicated sun-tracking solar farms, and older/recycled panels are ideal for car parks, flat roofs, etc.

Unused land isn't useless land. Every bit of land, grass, tree, rock currently has a place and destroying/changing it has consequences. We can't just assume that unused (by humans) land is usable (by humans) land, like white settlers have a habit to do

I think you can't really handle what "human activity" means and how it affects everything, but if you're advocating for preservation of literally human life on the planet, avoiding diseases spread and all, it's something you should get yourself acquainted with
Ah, false dichotomy. Now I understand.
Makes sense. 👌🙏
This!
