All Science. No Fiction.

Old MacDonald had a...massive solar farm? (Oh, and sheep)

Season 1 Episode 3 | 6m 25s

It’s pretty easy to make solar power these days – you just need sun, more sun and LOTS of space for panels. This is something farmers have in acres. Oregon scientists say farmers can future-proof their livelihoods (and the planet) by pairing agriculture and solar power production in the same fields. They’ll save water and make money, all while feeding and electrifying the world.
