Title: Uplifting Newsus
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 04 March 2024, 09:30:07
Sheep prefer to graze grass under solar panels.

Apparently the grass might be more nutritious in the shade, AND the panels provide sheep with shade.

It's free-lawn-care.  Who knew, Symbiosis of Solar Sheeps (https://insideclimatenews.org/news/17022024/in-wyoming-sheep-may-safely-graze-under-solar-panels-in-one-of-the-states-first-agrivoltaic-projects/)

Sure, we shouldn't be raising sheep to eat them, but if we kept a few to auto cut grass, it's probably alright.

Guess the trouble now is we'd have to make sure they're not jumping ontop of the panels. Find smaller lazier sheep that jump less.

Before the advent of mass produced cotton, sheep were more valued for their wool (a renewable resource) than their meat. There were laws in place regarding eating sheep because we needed their wool more than we needed their meat. I enjoy sheep :).

Off-topic, but in olden days beekeepers often wanted the wax more than the honey, and even more off-topic bears are after the larvae at least as much as for the honey ....

Here's the idea, we have these auto-turrets that shoots tennis balls at the sheep if they jump on the panels.

American Sheep Gladiators. We gotta hit up Rob Dyrdek since he was the person who bought the tennis ball cannon from the show.

Wildfires have devastated the Texas cattle industry and the effects may be long-lasting.

Score 1 for climate.

We had a good 5 days of drop,  should Tp4 be hesitant to buy the dip on this Stonk.

Finally, some comedy that's not trashy.
