Subject: Do solar panels or Wind Turbines sequester carbon like Crops?

They seem to ignore the corn plants taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.


Seriously, why don’t they recognize that we have the capacity in place to produce 17 billion gallons of ethanol.. and.. given increasing trendline corn yields.. we can do more.

17 Billion gallons of ethanol.. could produce over 6 billion gallons of SAF.. today.

and.. sequester Carbon while we’re doing it.  Do Solar panels or Wind turbines sequester carbon?  No.  They do not.

For a brief period each summer, however, the ingenuity of humankind trumps even the mighty rainforests at biological production. At the peak of the growing season, says NASA, the Midwest U.S. corn belt is the most productive place on Earth—there's more photosynthesis going on here than even in the Amazon.
