I'm obsessed with that agrivoltaics stat, such good news! As much as 35% of crops suitable for pairing with solar?! Reminds me of Steve Hanley's piece this week on how much land is wasted growing ethanol corn. Solar sure seems like a great use of land... https://substack.com/home/post/p-162339942

Hi Michael,

My apologies - that's a Substack setting for paywalled posts, I don't have an option to let all readers comment on those (though I would like one!). Your words about my writing have been incredibly supportive over the years, and I always love to hear from you!

Thanks,

Sam

Another good one. Still waiting for some stories about Biocharasaurus Rex.

Did you know that back in the day railroad developers were required to put in tiny bridges so livestock could pass safely under/across their “god given”right-of-way? Probably not like that everywhere, but I’ve seen quite a few in Maine’s coastal plain areas like that.

No doubt cow catchers were cheaper!
