are the homes that were burned down by solar farms in the room with us right now?
Seeing them feels dystopian. I actually don't think that opinion is so fringe. There were lots of environmental protesters when the solar farm near us went up. The valley was rich in low shrubs and wildlife, and even some forest was leveled. A multi billion dollar energy company destroyed it to pick up their share of the free government funding while powering less than 2% of homes.
Sure, it's better than a gas refinery or some other things you could find yourself living next to. But let's not ignore what's bad about our current solutions.
I didn't. It looks like GP changed their comment. I was answering the question of what people don't like about living next to a solar farm.
Is a solar farm being built nearby as bad as your house burning down? I didn't think the property value would change that drastically...
