Agreed.
I think solar installations would make more sense for remediation of desertified or polluted land instead of disrupting existing nature reserves.
it may be a plus for solar if it can be shown that the shadow from the panels is a good thing in those cases
There is also probably enough toxic/polluted wasteland around so that solar can be built there without taking "good" lands.
It may be that AI will happen to be the savior of this planet - by creating huge demand for energy it will allow the cheapest - i.e. renewables - to get into dominating market position, and may be Big Tech would even get into and productize the fusion.
