For years, one worry has shadowed the rise of solar power. To make serious amounts of electricity, you need serious amounts of land.

    To save you a click: it became a sanctuary for insects, especially bees.

      Not all heroes wear capes.

      I wish there were more rules about stating the topic of the article instead of headlines written to entice clicks

      I do think it’s nice how solar panels actually end up being symbiotic with the biosystem though. There was another similar story from China where solar panels and they were getting overgrown by grass, so they got sheep and goats in, and now it’s a whole ecosystem that’s also producing electricity. Panels also provide shade in hotter environments which allows plants to grow where it was just too hot before.
