  • Because "In Denmark, it is common for trees, wooden fences and even plastic sheets to act as windbreaks for crops. “We thought, if we are going to do this, why not make these wind shelters produce electricity?” says Victoria.

    In other words, the solar panels aren’t taking away any crop space that wasn’t already taken for windbreaks.

    If you’re used to a giant field of wheat with no protection from wind, it’s a different equation. (With climate change, possibly a Dust Bowl waiting to happen, but that’s another story.)

    Usually followed by “but…” and a shitload of misinformation and outrageous lies.

    It’s almost never followed by “so I listen to the scientists who have researched the facts of this situation.”

    (Added the “almost” because there are a few politicians who do respect scientists. None of whom are Republicans.)

    Yes we do!

    Not mine, though. I own my varicose veins but I don’t love them. I do love a long swishy skirt. And my cat likes to hide underneath and then POUNCE! out at whatever hair-tie or bottle-top she’s chasing.
