To be fair, cornfields consume resources other than solar energy. Like CO2. However the benefits of consuming CO2 goes away if you’re just gonna burn the corn, which releases CO2 again.
Also the costs of planting corn, protecting it, the emissions from equipment used to harvest, transport, and manufacture, and the amount of water needed to make it all happen, it’s extremely inefficient. Solar panels are just there. It’s not always simple to set them up, and the up front cost might be high, but the long-term benefit far outweighs the cost of corn.
I mean if you think about it, what is a corn field but a really shitty solar panel?
