Here in Australia, News Corp (owned by the same Murdoch family who is also behind Fox News) is currently running a campaign against agricultural solar. A key “argument” being that installing solar panels on fields makes it impossible to grow crops there.

I live in Aus as well, and I don’t expose myself to News Corp at all. Can you explain to me what the heck the issue is? We have so much space and we don’t need that much more solar, how is anyone’s crops at risk? Is this just a complete non issue? Like i agree that solar panels shouldn’t be installed over the top of crops but is that even a thing that is happening? Don’t the farmers have almost complete control of what goes on their property anyway? So confused

News Corp is anti-renewable energy. No need to look for a deeper explanation than that.
