And their vote counts more than yours because they live in rural districts with lower populations. Smh at "democracy."

A meme with two panels. The first panel is a scene of agrovoltaics - farmers growing crops underneath solar panels in a field - with the caption "solar panels waste our fertile soil and destroy our beautiful rural landscapes". In quotes to imply the meme is quoting someone else's objections to solar power. The second panel is an image of a coal power plant with smoke billowing from its smokestacks looming behind a field of crops. The caption reads "but this is cool?'

Coal and natural gas plants can also use the same cooling tower design.

It looks like maybe a coal plant is depicted, on account of the tall smoke stacks and what look like drop chutes for handling solid coal. But the layout doesn't make sense. What are the smoke stacks coming out of?

    It looks either AI, or a combination of pictures via Photoshop. I'm guessing AI, but hard to know for sure.

    I mean, it depicts people planting crops UNDER the solar panels. Out of the sun.

    Yeah, this is 100% AI.
