Japan Turns Abandoned Golf Courses Into Solar Farms
Original: Old Golf Courses Are Helping Japan Find Room for More Solar

As golf's popularity declines, closed courses offer flat, sunny, pre-cleared terrain well suited to panels. Bloomberg reports the trend is accelerating as Japan pushes to expand renewable capacity to meet its climate and energy security goals.
Why now: Interest in practical land solutions for renewable energy as Japan races to cut emissions and reduce fuel imports.
