Last few years farms sold out to solar in my area, 13k+ acres. Now farms being sold for data centers. 700 acre data center. Latest a farmer down the road selling his family farm for reportedly 100k/acre offer (several hundred acres) next to the current data center going up. His brother with several hundred acres next to him has refused so far but its only a matter of time before they take it or something happens to him.
I dont have as much problem with solar espesciay since trump said we aint doing muchnof it any more and silver will make it prohibitive. Also, solar panel contracts are usually 20 uears and when the lease is up you can scrap millions of dollars worth of materials.
My next door neighbor spent 85000 on solar panels for his house so he wouldn't have to pay for electricity. My electric bill in a 2 story house averages around 160 a month for the whole year that's with fluctuations in cooling and heating.
So it's expensive to do and that's not counting what it costs him to maintain it.
