Japan Turns Abandoned Golf Courses Into Solar Farms
Original: Old Golf Courses Are Helping Japan Find Room for More Solar
Japan is converting disused golf courses into large-scale solar power sites, as the country searches for open land to expand renewable energy. Many courses have closed as membership declines, leaving flat, sunny, already-cleared land that suits solar panels. Bloomberg reports the trend is emerging as a practical answer to Japan's land scarcity for clean energy projects.
Why now: Growing interest in Japan's renewable energy buildout and creative land-use solutions
