This is an extremely naive view of what the word “fail” means and of what such a “competition” would look like. Are you suggesting we just deploy increasingly critical systems onto this hypothetical fork until it predictably fails in an unpredictable way? Sorta like Calvin’s dad would rate bridges?

Yes, it makes sense in some cases to cover parking lots, but it increases the price and complexity many folds and the areas needed in open land are next to nothing compared to the area being used to grow energy crops today.
The meme should be “stop covering our land with fertilized, pesticide covered corn and rapeseed that go into combustion engines, cover it with solar instead”
Once again “general populace” means “people in the United States”.
The rest of us are still in the Paris agreement, and where I’m at one of the most heated political arguments is about emissions from agriculture.
