And before anyone bothers you about the impact of turning fields into solar farms, I’ll add that we (the US) already have more farmland dedicated to energy production (ethanol corn) than would be necessary to provide our whole electricity demand.

Oh hell yes. 40% of the corn is grown in the US for ethanol, and it's a complete and utter waste. Even with extremely optimistic numbers the amount of improvement is close to zero. It might be the worst greenwashing out there; sounds like you're doing something, but its benefit is likely negative.

We have the land. That's so not a problem.
