HN has a particularly severe case of 'I can write software, so I know everything' disease. It turns out all the farmers, electricians, engineers, bricklayers, bakers, policy experts, and so so much more should have just come on here a few times a week and they'd be so much smarter.

I've seen farmers on here, and it's a trivially verifiable fact that some farmers are using agrivoltaic approaches.

Nor are farmers immune to the "vote against your own interests" political bullshit that often comes up around renewables. Look at how many voted for the guy who started a trade war as a thank you.

(Plenty of bakers here, by the way. I used a literal ton of flour during COVID keeping the neighborhood supplied with sourdough.)
