How many are ENERGY Farming

[5030]

YES! Put them on top of all those abandoned wallyworld stores, etc.

Already on the roof of the Whitehouse though I don't see them making much of an impact on the current pres.

I’ll throw this in to fan the discussion. There were approximately 93 million acres of corn grown in the US last year. About 40% of that production is used to make ethanol, 38% for animal feed.

93 million acres x 40% = 37 million acres, most of which goes into our gas tanks. Food for fuel some call it.

I won't mention the 5 or so tons I burn in my biomass stove either. Corn makes excellent heat.

Like I said earlier on, there will never be a 'solar installation on my land in my lifetime.

Thats good, but I dont think theyre gonna come looking for small farms to put them on.

Thats funny remember Mrs Oldsmobile owns his ranch not him.

In reality, I don't much care as there will never be any solar on my land so long as I hold the deed to it and I'd say most commenters on this thread don't own enough ground to be concerned anyway. Have a suspicion that a good percentage are suburban dwellers anyway.

Puff that chest out little man.

Still a nice change though...
