    It doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here, but I’ve seen wooded areas clear cut for large scale solar farms before. That’s completely missing the point of green energy IMO and I can see why some would oppose it.

      Here in Massachusetts they’ve installed panels in all sorts of otherwise unusable space, including:

      • capped garbage dumps & transfer stations
      • Along the sides of highways
      • inside highway clover leafs
