Because it's not necessarily correct. There's so many fields dedicated to growing energy plants that covering just a part of those would be sufficient to electrify the entire transport sector. That's just fields for plants for Biofuels etc., not a single beautiful picturesque meadow, not a single field that grows food.
Of course covering car parks is a good idea too, but it's more expensive, and it's a climate change denier's strawman that covering fields would supposedly endanger our food supply or ruin our landscapes.
In the EU at least farmers are getting paid to not grow on certain fields in order to hold crop prices stable.
It's a good idea to put them to produce smething else.
Knowing our great bureaucracy I bet they lose the subsidy if they put solar panels on those fields.
At least there is no Big Chip lobbying against it.
