Take a read of the article - and read the whole thing. I don't know much about this project at all. I'm a huge fan of renewable energy and significantly diversifying the grid in lots of ways. However, the property owner quoted in the article was saying that they would cut down a lot of trees for this solar project and that would drastically change the ecological makeup of the area, lead to more flooding, etc. So...I just thought this would be an interesting discussion (and see if anyone knows anything about this project). Cutting down trees in that area for a solar farm does seem silly to me, especially when programs for solar on rooftops are available and could be done more efficiently than is currently available. Thoughts?
