Original Note:
Golf courses cover an estimated 1256 square Km (310364 acres), so if all solar farms proposed were built this would be less than 1/3rd of the land dedicated to golf. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41901297 Solar farms support richer biodiversity than many other land uses, including most forms of agriculture. https://www.iucn.org/resources/file/biodiversity-impacts-associated-solar-power-projects
