I see you didn't even try to justify your bullshit there.

Of course corn and solar panels are different. For one thing, an acre of solar panels produces vastly more economic value per year than an acre of corn. What the corn observation does is show that the idea that this is too much area is insipid nonsense.

I could have easily compared the area to other things, like golf courses, parking lots, roads, or areas given over to fossil fuel production.

I am sorry you are ignorant enough to not see how Michigan lake size solar panels field is fundamentally different from a parking lot of same size.

I don’t argue with stupid people, sorry.

You would be surprised at how similar parking lots and PV fields are in cost per unit area. The PV field might even be cheaper!
