Relevant Technology Connections video. Tl:DW: a good third of the corn grown in the US is for making ethanol to put in cars, a very inefficient use of land. If that land was instead solar, we could cover all of the energy needs from transportation and electricity in the country multiple times over. Plus agrivoltaics shows some crops actually grow better underneath solar panels.
We should be putting panels everywhere that makes sense and as fast as possible
