Interesting. I know solar "farms" are not really farms but maybe the panels could be part of a "crop rotation". It says poor farmers in Pakistan dont buy the metal frames they just lay the panels on the ground...

Perhaps they could be moved from one plot of land to another, almost like goats or cattle. Its the only interesting "news" Ive read lately:

Interesting. I predict we will have some sort of breakthrough in the next 10 (maybe 15) years that produces unlimited energy and all this silly energy talk and money will have to shift to something else as there will be as much energy as you can ever want, just like it is with computers and computing power now.

Stand by a river, roasting in the sun with a breeze blowing the sailboats by. All the free energy we could ever need. The Internet should be free, like AM and FM radio, butt since they of course decided to monetize it, well, just like any 'free' thing, it'll cost ya. I admire those houses that have solar panels right there, making me wonder how much they can do with the power captured. Probably everything.
Back to the river, imagine just a tethered underwater fan, with a power cord running back from it, creating whatever voltage is needed - an underwater hydro farm, if there were a bunch. A trolling generator, with a small windmill on top of each and a solar panel. Hell, attach it to a water skier in the name of science; He won' mind, for that fact, lol. eg
