One of the most-viewed PNAS articles in the last week is “Ecologically informed solar enables a sustainable energy transition in US croplands.” Explore the article here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... For more trending articles, visit ow.ly/Me2U50SkLRZ.

Converting a small fraction of fields producing corn for ethanol in the Mississippi River watershed into solar farms could greatly expand renewable energy production while mitigating pollution of the Mississippi River from fertilizer runoff. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Repurposing just a fraction of U.S. corn ethanol croplands for solar could triple utility-scale solar - without competing with food. Boosts land efficiency, cuts runoff, and supports biodiversity! Smarter land use = sustainable future ☀️⚡️🌎 @aag-energy.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

Some good news about fighting climate change: Texans feel on average positively about their local wind power projects. We find *no* evidence of electoral backlash where projects are constructed! @condorcet.bsky.social @adamgallaherphd.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
