Choice: food or solar fields

Dang dude. Now I know what they mean by the nickname “pencil neck geek”.

Solar and farming can work quite well together. It just takes a little planning. When we get the green light that solar is good then I think we will see a lot of planning of where to use it.
Warehouses and stores with huge unobstructed roofs. Farms with unusable land.
Windows in tall buildings using solar windows (yes they exist).
Solar roofing material for homes. And... when we see how much rebuilding our very old grid systems maybe big utility companies will start embracing home solar systems that put excess power back in the grid.

I bet if they knocked down North Philly and put solar panels there, they could get more energy from the sun and get rid of some crime infested slums.

Funny how once the faculty lounge ivy leaguers gets an idea, it always gets guinea pigged by the rural people.
Prisons, Nuke plants, solar fields, landfills, trash recycling, chemical plants, ordinance testing, etc.

Nothing wrong with some nice lean horse steaks.

I'll pass, thank you.

They shut off the water to California Valley farmers to save the water for the Delta smelt.

Delta smelt. That sounds kinky.

I tried some of that vegetarian manufactured "meat" (Beyond, I think) a year or so ago. Once was enough. It was nasty, neither taste nor texture even vaguely resembled meat.

Ah, Soylent Green..............

Not to worry, California has it all figured out!
They shut off the water to California Valley farmers to save the water for the Delta smelt. It is a tiny fish and there are probably five of them left. I'd love to eat one, if I get a chance!
Anyway, The dry, flat useless farm land is not growing food anymore so they should be able to find all the solar field acres they need there.
They should be able to get all the lithium they need by raping the indian reservations. We don't need beef either. Go Vegan! If you can grow the vegetables somewhere else! Beef farts are destroying California anyways.....

The lithium will have to come from open-pit mining.
Won't that be swell for the environment!
As far as what to do with the old

The rise of electric cars could leave us with a big battery waste problem

Carmakers, recyclers and tech startups are working to solve the question of how to deal with lithium-ion batteries when they wear out

Lithium is part of liberal plans. They control the media.

Proposed lithium mine in Nevada would damage ancestral lands, critics say

A proposed lithium mine along the Nevada-Oregon border would produce critical materials for electric car batteries along with local jobs, but critics say the damage to the environment, including the ancestral lands of multiple tribes, isn't worth it.

that far out there wont be lithium batteries. we already are moving ahead towards sodium ion. by then this will be old hat.

As far as what to do with the old batteries, somebody better start working on that! They do not have a plan.....

not to fear there are several major companies that are recycling electric car batteries. Blue oval if i remember.... will have one or two in house.
