Have you seen the logistics required to move the output of 15,000 acres of food to the consumer?

A 15,000 acre solar farm generates 6000GWh a year, which can be moved via a single high voltage pylon.

Of course you don't need to move it to California, as you can power an Iowa data centre, or Chicago, instead.

People may pay more to ship "Florida Oranges" or "California wine" across the country. They won't with electric, they'll just buy locally, and if prices reduce then people will use more (building new data centres is the current vogue, but factories and other industry)

Iowa being a net energy exporter means more economic opportunities for Iowa
