While this looks promising, I’m not sure I like the idea of introducing more plastic into our waterways. Does anyone know if our filteration systems are capable of filtering out micro/nanoplastics?

    There’s also a lot of land that has very little economic value in terms of agricultural potential, where solar would be a very good use of the land.

    Land like that typically isn’t very flat though.

      I agree with your general point but I just want to add a caveat

      land that has very little economic value in terms of agricultural potential

      Native environment is also a good use of land.

      I think globally we’re just at the “and find out” stage of realizing that actually, there is a value in the earth being its natural self, and an economic price to pay if not enough of it is.

      Yes very true. One reason I like wind farms, is they tend to be most profitable in areas where land is useful for little outside of forestry.
