You can tell this was once farmland where Farmer John sold out.....The pics were taken by a NG pilot on another forum.
So I fly for the NG part time. I’ve noticed in the last year or so solar farms are all of the sudden popping up everywhere, seemingly overnight.
Below are a few pictures I snapped the other night. This thing was massive, and more was being added. It was absolutely disgusting to see.
Hundreds if not thousands of acres of habitat and hunting opportunity destroyed. Meanwhile there is a massive and sprawling warehouse district next to the airport. I haven’t seen a single solar panel on a roof.
Where the fuck are conservation organizations on this!? I’m not sure how anyone can witness this and defend it as better for the environment. It’s simply maddening, and it feels like there isn’t a damn thing I or anyone can do about it.
I’m not sure what the solution is, I just have a pretty damn good idea that this isn’t it.
The only things worse would be a wind farm or watching thousands of acres be turned into cookie cutter mega subdivisions outside of population centers like in Texas.....At least the solar/wind farms can be uprooted and the land put back into use.
