Is everyone ready for the discussion about the flooding and runoff solar industrial complexes cause? The developer comes in, strips the topsoil, dumps it in a pile nearby, compacts the remaining soil, kills all vegetation that was providing drainage, and grades the facilities, most times, against the natural grading. The result is moved, displaced water that’s not absorbed into the ground. The developers don’t care. They got their green energy subsidies and credits. They’re off to the next parcel of land to destroy. This is especially bad when the developers clear-cut forests to make way for solar complexes. They are cutting down hundreds of thousands of trees as we speak. Just look up Moraine Solar today. This is one of the many ways these complexes destroy our towns, our parks, our wildlife, and our soil. Since the money made off the complex comes from physical building the complex, and not the actual (pathetic and intermittent) power generated, the developers don’t care. We cannot allow them to insert these ecological detention centers into our rural towns and parks.
