I worked on solar fields.(Farmland, forest, etc.,), Tbh, I really mourned the loss of forest, trees, wildlife that was there. The amount of damage caused by leveling these places cannot be reversed. The rain runoff is not the same,, wildlife has been destroyed or have to move and new problems show up. There has to be another way.

What are you doing to minimize this?

I have reviewed the materials. I feel the blame is for both sides. However, I am not well versed on the proper solution to this situation. Both sides are being harmful.

Thanks for the information.
