Viral social media posts have made a number of claims about how pension contributions are saved and spent. But their sums are wrong, and they misunderstand how the state pension works.

Agrivoltaics is a good solution for those that are scared of losing too much arable land. Fears are unfounded, the amount of land for our energy needs is tiny. joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/jrc-news-and...

Agrivoltaics alone could surpass EU photovoltaic 2030 goals
Covering just 1% of the utilised agricultural area (UAA) with agrivoltaic systems could result in approximately 944 GW direct current of installed capacity.
