OK one more post for the morning: a teeny bit of good news. Cornell CALS (College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) has secured funding and is launching an agrivoltaics research program!
"The path to solving the climate crisis requires expanding renewable energy projects to achieve our clean energy goals; however, this effort has historically harmed our local food supply, often taking prime farmland out of production and putting farms out of business. The new Agrivoltaics Research Program at Cornell CALS will help change this dynamic by pioneering strategies and technology to facilitate vital collaboration between the renewable energy and agriculture industries."
