Reply to comment by bigwelshmatt1976 in I’m Sammy Roth, an L.A. Times reporter trying to figure out where to put all the solar and wind farms we'll need to fight climate change. Is farmland the answer? AMA! by losangelestimes
Hey there, thank you for the comment! Yes, as discussed elsewhere on this thread, huge potential for solar carports -- and the more of that, the less conflict over large-scale renewables. But still, all the research I've seen shows a huge need for big solar and wind farms even in a super optimistic scenario for solar panels within the built environment. See, for instance: https://www.latimes.com/environment/newsletter/2021-01-07/how-rooftop-solar-could-save-americans-473-billion-dollars-boiling-point.
Hope that's helpful!
