A meme with two panels. The first panel is a scene of agrovoltaics - farmers growing crops underneath solar panels in a field - with the caption "solar panels waste our fertile soil and destroy our beautiful rural landscapes". In quotes to imply the meme is quoting someone else's objections to solar power. The second panel is an image of a coal power plant with smoke billowing from its smokestacks looming behind a field of crops. The caption reads "but this is cool?'
