    To the capitalist, everything is an asset that can make money, including land. No money making in returning land to nature, unless a positive externality is introduced by a tax credit or something. Not a perfect solution by far, but rewilding is a necessary pill to swallow because we’re in the sixth mass extinction and are using land for things like cows and pigs which is super water and fertilizer intensive.


  • THIS !!!

    As a solar engineer myself that started in utility scale solar and just left their first Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar job, residential, commercial, and industrial solar is the best use.

    1. you center generation as close as possible to utilization, minimizing transmission and distribution.

    2. land is re-used, allowing other lands for other uses like rewilding, reforesting, and conservation.

    You still have other problems like large power users, but you cannot ignore the benefits.
