   One of the most prominent arguments against rapid solar deployment: land!

   Yes, there are tradeoffs. Of course, there are. That's especially true, say, if most of your land is confined to one big island, as in the #UK.

   And yes, by calling out "golf courses" here we're squarely in "OMG culture war!" territory.

   Still, the numbers couldn't be clearer.
