It takes a LOT of energy to produce PV panels. From
what I've read, a PV panel will never make up the
carbon it cost in its expected 25 year life span.

How much energy is required to plant crops and
create oil from the harvest?

Does it take longer than 25 years?

While it's possible to do that and it is efficient from an energy
viewpoint we're already seeing the unintended consequences in rising
food prices.
