    The article is an extensive discussion of how you can in fact farm under wind turbines.

      Huh, as someone not knowledgeable about that sort of stuff I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t, beyond it’ll block a little sun sometimes?

        Mostly because a bunch of ant-wind propaganda has been screaming “wind farms take up a lot of space OMG”

          Lul have they never seen a turbine. I get that argument for solar but come on. I also can’t fathom why normal people are so opossed to solar, it would literally save them so much money on their house.

            There are “crops” that do just fine under/around solar panels to. Think flowers, herbs, and green leafy vegetables. Not the easilly machine cultivated and harvested cash-cows corporate farmers insist upon, but that technology, too, is being worked on.

            Almost all the arguments against green technology revolve around “money printer go brr, how dare force us to put some money back into changing how it works when we would rather throw bodies into it and sell it off for parts as it continues churning out money?” Of course, they hate competition as well, no matter how bad they are at producing whatever it is they pretend to be selling.
