Letters to the Editor: Should more desert farmland in California be used for solar? (via latimesopinion )
For those not familiar with the challenges we face on a warming planet, Roth has provided up close and personal perspectives about farmers losing water and crops, cities growing despite diminishing resources, and the folly of those who promised Colorado River water to everyone without understanding the consequences.
The key lies in the actual value of water compared to what the farm barons pay. They benefit from contracts that are many decades old with low water prices that distort what crops are economically viable. Growing water-thirsty alfalfa in the arid Imperial Valley is clearly not the answer. While farmer Eddie Wiest wisely recognizes the need to diversify local land use, his neighbor Trevor Tagg “refuses to accept the science of global warming,” even as his own mother has repurposed part of her property from farming to solar power generation.
