ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) – Researchers at Cornell University say more solar energy fields are needed to meet future renewable energy goals.
New York’s 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act says the state must have 70% of their energy be renewable by 2030, and reach 100% by 2040.
Researchers believe solar-power developers need to explore using lower-quality land, find dual-use land, and encourage communities to contribute to the goals. Dual-use land is the combination of using farming land for both agriculture and solar energy.
There is also the threat of solar farms becoming too concentrated in regions. This could lead to negative economic activity for businesses who depend on farming in the region.

Brent Stirton/Getty Images In the wake of the assault on the US Capitol in January, Twitter took decisive action against false claims of election fraud by suspending 70,000 accounts associated with the QAnon conspiracy. However, new data shows that almost all of the most prolific spreaders of electoral fraud misinformation were within the orbit of the Republican mainstream, and were largely left to their own devices by a Twitter purge that appeared to focus on fringe conspiracists.
