Swwms we're collectively installing a terawatt every two years at present, with a Bloomberg NEF forecast of nine terawatts total by 2036.

Yet plot after plot came in with more fruit, not less, and the plants looked healthier than the ones baking in the open.

Stranger still, the shaded rows did it while drinking far less water. The pattern held across season after season, not just a lucky year. Even seasoned growers came out to see it for themselves.

I'm quoting from a quote here but it won't have been that the fruit plants were drinking far less water, it will be that far less of the water applied to the shaded plants was lost through evaporation. Anyone with a garden is unlikely to find that strange.

Presumably the plants in question don't 'like' full exposure to sunlight which makes them transpire more leaving less 'goodness' in the sap to develop fruit.
