Why aren't the dead malls solar array site candidates? We are converting farmland to solar farm. This is corn for oil

I suspect pure solar needs much cheaper land, like out in the desert near Vegas where I’ve seen a few. Dead malls probably need to be redeveloped into something else + solar. Especially in low sunlight regions.

This can't be true. Prime farm land in Western Mass, where I cannot afford to live, is be converted to solar arrays. Orchards razed. I suspect state subsidy. Central NY is the same.

This is a market distortion caused by destructive agricultural subsidies combined with well meaning but uninformed green initiatives.
