> they don't. You say that, but then... > Again, that's true only when you believe paving the natural landscape with solar panels is the only environment friendly and sustainable source of energy in existence. There is only one source of energy on this earth. No matter what you build to produce energy, that energy comes from the sun, which means some surface area on earth must be dedicated to it, which means some natural process and landscape must be severely hindered. Whether it is damming up rivers or paving some desert or clear cutting a windmill farm or whatever it is, to get the energy we need you have to destroy some landscape, and what you have to destroy is a function of how much solar energy lands on a square meter of surface.
