This Colorado 'solar garden' is literally a farm under solar panels​

I love this kind of stuff

But he soon discovered that the shade from the towering panels above the soil actually helped the plants thrive. That intermittent shade also meant a lot less evaporation of coveted irrigation water. And in turn the evaporation actually helped keep the sun-baked solar panels cooler, making them more efficient.​

Oh you are right. I tried to make it look pretty.

I should have tested it. Its and NPR story and their links always look like this:

The newly passed infrastructure bill could lead to a boom in solar production requiring a lot more land, including farmland. But research is showing solar panels might actually help grow some crops.

but it works.

I also found out that if you google the Headline you get like 5 other articles. Most of them are just links to the NPR article. But a few are different.
