The only problem that I kind of understand are the huge fences surrounding the farms. Because copper thefts are a big problem for them, it is quite common to have 3m high fences all around, which is obviously more gated community like than a monoculture field. And of course, it depends on how the farm is run. Solar farms can be ecological heaven if managed properly, unless growing weeds are just killed of with round-up every few months. Everything else seems more pretended problems, like inverter fans that may just be placed in the middle and should barely be hearable from 100 meters away.
- Geezus_42 1y agoHow is that fence any different than the 3m high fence the deer breeder down the road has?
- bongodongobob 1y agoDeer breeding isn't liberal wokeness. Only the good ol boys do that, so it's ok.
- patall 1y agoIdk, maybe 3mm wire of 15cm grid size vs. 6mm wire in a <=5cm grid. But I have never seen a big deer farm, that is probably also not so nice to have right next door. But what do I know, here in Scandinavia, you have the right to roam pretty much everywhere, makes countries with too many fences seem claustrophobic.
- UltraSane 1y agoThe solar farm I live near has a 5 foot tall fence.
- prawn 1y agoI filmed a solar farm the other month for an energy company and they had sheep amongst the panels keeping the grass down. The main infrastructure, like you said, was positioned centrally so there was no sound at all at the perimeter.
