🔴 ⛳ **Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy**
_“Our study shows that in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, far more land is allocated to golf courses than to renewable energy facilities. Areas equivalent to those currently used for golf could support the installation of up to 842 GW of solar and 659 GW of wind capacity in the top ten countries with the most golf courses.”_

@bibliolater @climatechange Can’t see DJT agreeing with that.
@Daniel_Blake @climatechange He would probably prefer to use the land for windmills.
