I was amused to spot a sign that said “No Industrial Solar” placed near a cornfield north of Cedar Rapids.
Modern cornfields are industrial solar. Plants use the sun's energy to grow and create seeds. Over application of nitrates and other chemicals in these industrial solar crops degrades water quality.
