“The floatovoltaic industry is poised to expand rapidly. Science and policy must move equally fast to ensure that this use of the world’s reservoirs is sustainable & equitable.”
Some valuable insight to consider today as we fight to end fossil fuel use.

I have so many questions about that article.
"But for some projects, so much methane — a potent greenhouse gas — is released from decaying submerged plant matter that they can emit as much carbon per unit energy as do fossil-fuel power plants."
Yes, methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, but short-lived in the atmosphere. It breaks down relatively quickly.
Sunlight powers plant growth in the water, filtering pollutants. What are the effects of reducing plants?
