Countries around the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy, according to a new study published in the journal Environmental Research Communications.
Parks and golf courses are all world of difference lol.
Parka have tons of trees, different species of geasses big and small, some open areas, playground for kids, small fields for football or something. Open to the public, 3rd spaces for kids and teens, people exercising and running and walking through it.
Golf courses you have to pay to get in, not open to the public, a monoculture of imported grass, maybe some trees on the edges or between holes, kids and teens are not allowed, uses more space that the community isn’t allowed in, etc…
No one is saying parks and golf courses are not a world of difference. The real argument boils down to, is the reason your utility is not building solar or wind farms because there is no land available? If the answer is yes there is no land available than taking over a golf course is a possible option. If the answer is no, there is plenty of land available outside the city, what is the point of wanting to turn golf courses into solar farms?
This article is not about converting golf courses into a different kind of green space.
