Reply to comment by TurretLauncher in Glenvale Solar, a Boston-based company, is planning to install a 240-acre solar installation in Keene, with construction beginning in 2026 by TurretLauncher

There are much better places to put panels. Sure, it reduces CO2 emissions equal to whatever, but that's still forest acres that are gone when they didn't have to be.

It's also destroying wildlife habitat that could remain if we were more strategic with solar placement.
