Reply to comment by pythonwiz 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
Definitely big upsides in terms of water savings and avoiding tearing up pristine land for renewable energy generation. The downsides come in terms of the community's response -- how do farmers and farmworkers feel, and what are the impacts to local tax revenues, jobs, etc.? That's what my whole piece is about -- hope you'll read and let me know what you think! https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2023-01-17/want-to-solve-climate-change-this-california-farm-kingdom-holds-the-key
