This needs to be stopped. It IS madness.
It's all about $$$. Power grab and $$$$. It's a scam.
How often are 400 acres (Michigan example) or 2,500 acres (Texas example) cleared for an individual oil well, or multiple oil wells for that matter?No Spin Ag said:
You know the world is turning upside down when you've got a Republican referencing the Loraz in hopes of PROTECTING nature's habitats and wildlife when speaking out against Solar Panels. Now, I'm not sure if they'd do the same if the land were to be used for a "Drill, Baby, Drill" type of thing, but still, you gotta enjoy the moments when they present themselves.Quote:
"Mind-numbing decisions like this are absolute proof that the DNR is completely rotten to its core," said Borton, R-Gaylord. "This deforestation will destroy habitats and effectively kill wildlife. Let me make that clear, the DNR is choosing to kill wildlife so they can build solar panels.
"We've all read the Lorax. If he thought like the DNR, he'd only be speaking for trees for as long as it took to fill his chainsaw with gas after the solar industry waved a fat wad of cash in his face."

According to the EPA, an average acre of forest in the United States stores around 81 metric tons of carbon, with an average annual carbon sequestration rate of 0.84 metric tons of carbon dioxide per acre, meaning it absorbs that amount of CO2 from the atmosphere each year
Total CO2 capture lost/year = 336 metric tons + 32,400 metric tons of Carbon (emissions)
Yeah that is a good trade for a solar farm, that is supposed to prevent CO2 emissions.
400 acres? Not 4000? or 40,000? lol
This is exactly the type of decision that makes the 'green energy mafia' look like complete idiots. "We have to destroy the environment to protect the environment."
After all, Michigan is known for its sunny weather.

What's the hourly pay for snow removal so these panels work in the winter?
Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”

Pretty much never. Pads are an acre or two at most, often smaller, in my observation.
Sounds really green

Imagine defending this
Solar panels and windmills are a blight on the landscapes and surroundings, and they don't do a ******* thing.
There's a perverse logic among some green believers that mature forests are carbon neutral because biodegradation releases captured carbon back into the atmosphere.
It's dumb but it works on them as a ploy to justify bulldozing ecosystems for intermittent generation.

"... researchers shows the loss of carbon-dioxide gobbling forests for solar installations results in a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions the air pollution which fuels the accelerating climate crisis."
Anyone with a brain should know this is a stupid idea that goes against what it is supposed to be accomplishing. This isn't about reducing CO2 or climate change or saving the planet.
It is about controlling your life while at the same time making the preferred class rich.
It's graft on a global scale.
Well, climate crisis is about government asserting power over us slaves. Installing solar panels gives incredibly unreliable power and takes $$$ from taxpayers.
This is not dumb. This is part of the plan.
Global warming left wing scam. Actual successful energy production is shunned, and ones that aren't efficient i.e. solar, are supported. They're even destroying land they say they love.
Solar panels in the UP?
Sounds highly efficient and not at all likely to get damaged by the elements.
What a bunch of morons.

This is a great example of powerful lobbyists getting a project done to pay connected friends at the expense of nature.
