Do you mean 1,500 kWh/mo? Generating 15 MWh/mo would be a very large residential system. $150 for 15,000 kWh of electricity saved/returned would only be $0.01/kWh.

Animal ag can both be a carbon sink and a carbon source depending on management. Ruminant animals play an important role in grassland ecosystems for nutrient cycling, which can aff…

Carbon farmer. Figure out ways to sequester carbon in soils while providing nutrient dense food to the local community and making a profit doing it.

Farmers are sunlight harvesters. Figuring out how to turn sunlight + carbon dioxide (renewables) into profitable products for sale can be achieved through good management in additi…

I am in favor of synthetic meats and other protein sources like bugs. We just need to be mindful of the culture part of agriculture, where animal protein has been a large factor in…

Too much water can also be just as devastating as too little water. As our climate warms, more energy will be stored in atmospheric and oceanic waters, creating more powerful hurri…

Raise panels up a bit and can graze animals underneath them too.

I agree with you that it's mostly feedlot grains that we could redirect to humans, and that feedlot grains is a surprising amount of what we produce in total. "More than half the U…

Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) for cattle is about 10, pig 3, sheep 5, and chicken 2. That means we could feed about 10 times more people per hectacre on grains than using that grain …

Seems unlikely there will be a silver bullet solution, especially one that's considered future technology. We have many low-tech solutions available today like soil carbon sequestr…

Although the trend is global warming, each individual month/year can be more variable. In some places, at some times, it may even get colder. Regional/seasonal variables like El Ni…
