Dr. Pearce, did you compare the cost of solar to the opportunity cost of not investing in diversified index funds in your study? It feels like the initial investment is quite high and financial decisions must incorporate opportunity costs to be rational

Growing number of large-scale solar fields has created increased need for animals to help control weeds and other vegetation. Using same piece of land for both solar and agriculture is known as "agrivoltaics." @Kiwetinohk1 @ProfPearce @WesternU @UAlberta theweathernetwork.com/en/new…
