Should farm fields be used for crops or solar? Research suggests both
As farmers debate whether fields should be used for agriculture or solar panels, new research from Michigan State University says the answer could be both.

"What actually happened was that a minor instability, possibly caused by a solar farm, spiraled into a bigger problem when conventional generators (most of them gas-fired) failed to supply the grid-balancing services they’d been paid for. That in turn caused swaths of power plants to disconnect to protect themselves, similar to what happens in your home when the fuse box trips."
