So you cover up thousands of acres with solar panels, so nothing can grow there except maybe some Knapweed around the edges and this is supposed to be better for the environment. Plants help keep the soil from eroding, take in carbon and put out oxygen. Solar energy is undependable and would cover up huge tracks of land that the only wildlife that would still be able to use it would be rodents and snakes. So one must ask which politicians and bureaucrats are making the money off of this one, and where are those panels made?
